I get the splash screen, then the main window. The main window shows a progress bar (apparently for scanning my albums) which completes in about 26 seconds and I get a "no active process" message. However, at the same time (i.e. right afer the main window is shown) Digikam starts using all available CPU resources (400%) and locking memory at a very high rate, until it gets to 70-80% of system memory, then I have a few minutes of swapping in which the system is unusable, and finally memory is fully exhausted and the system terminates Digikam. It does not matter if I close the main window after it starts to use CPU and memory, the digikam process would not disappear and continues to use resources until it gets terminated. I don't know what is being done behind the scenes (as far as I can tell Digikam doesn't generate a log file) but in the past I've been able to use Digikam (up to 3.4.0 I believe) with the same image collection. The issue exists in 4.2.0 and I've also tried 4.1.0 and 3.5.0 with the same result. 1465652 1 caulier.gilles 2014-08-13 21:56:20 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 323888 *** 1717327 2 metzpinguin 2017-12-17 19:49:38 +0000 Git commit 6a9fd9891a3ff341dc42fe36158cbf0101d513b6 by Maik Qualmann.

The bundles will be available in 2 hours at this url: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Please do not waste time to test if this file is always valid for next 5.8.0.
