Description Olivier Magere 2005-09-19 01:19:19 UTC

Version:           0.7.4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

On all my albums, digikam fails to generate thumbnails on a some image. The only pattern I can spot is that it fails on largish files (bigger than 1MB). When the thumnails are generated, the ones that fail appear at first and then are replaced by the broken picture icon.

try changing the following setting:

kcontrol->kde components->file manager->Previes & Metadata (tab)->Maximum file size

Comment 2 Olivier Magere 2005-09-19 10:14:44 UTC

That was the problem. Thanks. I would suggest a warning or an explanation be given to the user about why thumbnails are not being generated. Should I leave this open as a "nice to have" or open a separate request ?
