[digikam] [Bug 479711] Find new items at startup very slow (Mac)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479711 --- Comment #3 from at...@electropositive.net --- I've enabled debug and console logging thank you. Running digikam like this, and adding files from a local HDD, the find new items got to 100% quite quickly, but it's stuck on 100% now and presently there are a lot of these in the logs spinning by. One for every file I assume. ``` digikam.metaengine: Loading metadata with "Exiv2" backend from "/Volumes/5TB/pictures/Family/Masters/2015/January/Trip to Whangarei/_MG_5465.CR2" digikam.dimg: "/Volumes/5TB/pictures/Family/Masters/2015/January/Trip to Whangarei/_MG_5465.CR2" : "RAW" file identified digikam.database: Adding new item "/Volumes/5TB/pictures/Family/Masters/2015/January/Trip to Whangarei/_MG_5465.CR2" digikam.database: Recognized "/Volumes/5TB/pictures/Family/Masters/2015/January/Trip to Whangarei/_MG_5465.CR2" as identical to item 11650 digikam.database: Scanning took 39 ms digikam.database: Finishing took 0 ms ``` These files were on the NAS and are now on a local drive, so I think what it's doing is matching them up in the cache? Perhaps this will be a one time thing. Will see when it finishes if it repeats itself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479711 --- Comment #2 from at...@electropositive.net --- Thanks for the reply. The unstable comment is not at all related to the performance of the non scanning parts of digikam, just that to manage my media, I need to know that the media is up to date, and to know that I have to wait hours for a scan to finish. I'm sure the logs will provide something useful. I'm just going to check my sidecar (XMP) settings as I do have sidecar files, perhaps even reset to default somehow, but even so I don't think that would make it slow to over an hour right? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479711 Maik Qualmann changed: What|Removed |Added CC||metzping...@gmail.com --- Comment #1 from Maik Qualmann --- How a log is created under macOS is described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Well, 90,000 images isn't that much. In a normal scan, we read the file date information from all of these images. In a quick scan, only the file date information of the albums (folders), so probably only 1-5 thousand date information. If even that takes a long time, something must be very wrong. The code for the scan function is actually already highly optimized, I don't see any potential there anymore. There is of course the possibility that there is poor interaction between Qt and macOS or something else. I'll add a debug this weekend that will output the current number of files processed per second. What also surprises me and I have read several times is that it is hardly possible to work with digiKam during the scanning process. After all, the scanning process runs in its own thread. I just added a large external hard drive to my Windows test computer today with initial scan. I was able to work with digiKam without any problems.
