Bug ID: 413464
Summary: Crash in Windows 10 when 'browsing' images before
initial 'import' complete
Product: digikam
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: gl...@dazedowl.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Installed digiKam for first time and pointed to a collection of 35,000+ images
(jpg and raw). Each time I selected a folder that I knew contained images,
digiKam would lock up and then close/crash. This happened _every time_ I tried
(ie 100% repro), until I noticed in the status bar that digiKam was still
working through the collection of images for the first time (ie the process
progress bar was present and slowly progressing). Once I realised this I left
digiKam to complete this task (which took a long time of course). Once it was
complete everything was fine and I experienced no further crashes.
This was obviously user error, but of course a crash is still undesireable
behaviour. Also some sort of message that digiKam is still working through the
files would be helpful feedback for the user.
This might be a common problem encountered by new users with an already
extensive collection of images.
(Apologies, I don't know which componenet to attribute this too)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install digiKam for first time use
2. In Collections setting point digiKam to a very large collection of images
(in my case with date-based subfolders)
3. Whilst digiKam is still in the process of collecting these images, attempt
to browse through the image folders
OBSERVED RESULT
digiKam locks up and crashes
EXPECTED RESULT
No crash. Perhaps a helpful message to usr to be more patient and bring their
attention to the fact digiKam is still working at bringin the images into the
db (r whatever it is doing at this point)
