Bug ID: 379125
Summary: Opening with... in file manager results in for every
image digiKam instance spawns
Product: digikam
Version: 5.5.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Workflow
Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org
Reporter: piroxil...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Thank you, digiKam guys.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use any file manager. (I use Dolphin)
2. In file manager open a folder with number of images.
3. Select a number of images.
4. Open Right click menu -> Open with... and open them with digiKam.
5. digiKam is going to load a new instance for every image. (I had 100 images
selected, and my desktop machine gone to almost unresponsive state. So I needed
to somehow execute `killall digiKam`)
Additional information:
digikam (5.5.0)
Kwin_wayland (kwin 5.9.4)
Plasma Desktop (5.9.4)
Arch Linux (Linux Archer 4.10.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 12 18:50:28 CEST
2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
P.S.
1. Severity
Effect of bug can be equal to "Crash" severity, because it hangs all system
almost completely. I waited for 20 minutes for desktop to sort-out situation.
But in the end I needed take another 5 minutes to login to Linux console and
kill all digiKam instances.
2. What I wanted to do
Basically I was figuring-out how to import images to my album structure. And
tried this variant.
As a user I expected:
Select one image - open import dialog for that image. Or ask me for action.
Select bunch of images - open import dialog for that images. Or ask me for
action.
If images are in albums already - select them there. Or ask me for a custom
action. Asking what I want to do. If some images already present - have option
to ignore already imported images, report how much of them ignored, how much
left to import and view of them (with a button to view what images was ignored,
and where they are already in digiKam).
Thank you, I appreciate digiKam.
Regards,
Anton Latukha.
