Product: [Applications] digikam Reporter: Frederic Gedin <frederic.gedin>

Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: crash CC: caulier.gilles, finex, frederic.gedin, marcel.wiesweg

Sentry Crash Report:

Description Frederic Gedin 2008-12-31 18:49:10 UTC 
Version:           10.0 beta 7 (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          unknown - precompiled version 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

If I activate information recording in meta data in the configuration dialog (e.g. "Enregistrer les étiquettes de l'image comme mots clés" in the French translated version), then applying a tag to an image makes the application crash.

The command line message is : digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol:
_ZN11KExiv2Iface6KExiv216setWriteRawFilesEb

The same application crash and the same message occur if I require to synchronize tags for the whole collection.

Fred,

It's a binary compatibility issue with libkexiv2.

Recompile digiKam and kipi-plugins using libkexiv2, libkdcraw and libkipi from svn trunk. Look informations here :

To checkout digiKam/kipi-plugins code from trunk, look here:

@Gilles: if this is a library compatibility issue. Shouldn't this bug be closed as "downstream" or "invalid" ?
Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2009-01-02 12:08:11 UTC 
Fred,

It can be, but to be sure, recompiling all as explained in #1 will solve all future similar bug report. In fact you clean up you system.

As I am not able to compile the last version of digikam with the last version of the libkexiv2, libkipi and libkdcraw libraries (see my post in the user mailing list) I cannot verify.
I try to copy the last revision of these libraries into my library directory but the problem remains.

If you say that the problem is fixed with the last revision of libkexiv2, libkipi and libkdcraw libraries, I trust you but I can not verify. Depending of what you prefer, I can close this defect or wait for a new pre-compiled revision to be available.

I tried again to compile the last revision without success. I am afraid I will have to wait for a package to be availalble either on Windows or on Linux.

As soon as possible, I will retest.

Tested today on Digikam rc2 for windows
Synchronizing the albums does not crash anymore but hangs: it stayed one night at 14%. The trade off consists of stopping the synchronization and relaunch it. 
After several trials, the hang point is at 40%

Comment 9 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-03-23 18:19:46 UTC 
Is this problem on Windows only, or on Linux as well?
Comment 10 Frederic Gedin 2009-03-23 23:34:56 UTC 
The problem was on Linux. I need to check on windows to see what happens.
