Description Robert McKee 2008-06-21 16:36:09 UTC

Version:           0.10.0-svn (using 4.00.82 (KDE 4.0.82 >= 20080610) "release 4.2", compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.17-0.1-default

Program opens fine.  Contents of album are viewable as their thumbnails.  However, when clicking on a single thumbnail, nothing is shown in the viewing pane except a blank gray screen.

This bug is know and it's duing of an bug in kdelibs, which retore baddly all size settings for splitter widget.

Look the splitter on the bottom of the view and change the size. the content will appear properlly.

Comment 6 Chard 2009-01-30 05:02:12 UTC

Kindly forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what the “splitter on the bottom of the view” is.  A work-around that satisfies my needs is to set Thumbnail click action to 'Start Image Editor' under ALBUM VIEW SETTINGS. Selected image then appears in center pane of Image Editor.  No reply needed or expected.   Pax,  R. Crosby; Oregon USA

Comment 8 Harry Robins 2009-02-12 12:43:49 UTC

I experience the same problem, it is not possible however for me to select that splitter. All I can see in digikam is the welkom text when I start the application, it drives me mad!

Comment 9 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-02-12 14:44:46 UTC

Harry, if you dont see any album contents (thumbnail view), then it's a different problem. Probably the ioslaves are not installed properly or not found. See console output for "cannot create ioslave" messages or similar.

Comment 10 Robert McKee 2009-07-27 13:49:14 UTC

This bug appears to be fixed in the most recent release of Digikam in KDE 4.29 that is available in the Kubuntu experimental PPA.

Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2019-12-29 13:44:25 UTC

Not reproducible with 7.0.0 beta 1.
