Version: 0.9.2-final (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 OS: Linux A some point after starting digikam and viewing/editing images in the embedded browser, digikam starts to peg out one of my CPUs. Here's the output from strace: select(14, [3 4 5 7 9 12 13], [], [], NULL) = 1 (in [12]) gettimeofday({1189295280, 596798}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1189295280, 596823}, NULL) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 select(14, [3 4 5 7 9 12 13], [], [], NULL) = 1 (in [12]) gettimeofday({1189295280, 596931}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1189295280, 596956}, NULL) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 select(14, [3 4 5 7 9 12 13], [], [], NULL) = 1 (in [12]) gettimeofday({1189295280, 597063}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1189295280, 597089}, NULL) = 0 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 ... That repeats indefinitely.
Victor, Which CPU type ? Preview mode (and editor) use multithreading to load pictures in background. Are you few error messeges on the console ? digiKam crash ? Gilles Caulier
