            Bug ID: 414016

Extract of /var/log/syslog

SUMMARY

I have noticed that the Digikam 6.4.0 stable appimage (and also some of the
preceding betas) cause logfiles to grow very fast. I am talking about several
GB in a few minutes. I have encountedred this issue in two computers already,
filling 25GB of disk space in a couple of hours, mainly in /var/log/syslog, but
also in system journal at /var/log/journal/.

The content of the logs seems to be the same lines repeating over and over
again. I have attached a small sample.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the size of /var/log/syslog
2. Use digikam for half an hour (tag pictures and sort directories)

OBSERVED RESULT
Notice how the log file has increased substantially in size.

EXPECTED RESULT
Log files should not have grown so much in a single session.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux: Digikam 6.4.0 appimage in Ubuntu 18.4 LTS with Gnome
