Description Benjamin Kleiner 2009-04-18 20:19:29 UTC

Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Apparently, digikam 0.10.0 can't handle big collections. It already crashed when reading in a 200 Mib directory (which is just a small portion of my collection).
I've played arround with several subdirectories of my whole collection, always with the same result: digikam crashes as soon as digikam4.db exceeds 11 Mib.

Please file us a GDB backtrace in text, running digiKam from a console, like it's explained here :

Sorry, thought the kcrashhandler backtraces would be sufficient.

The problem is not the directory size, but some images seem to be corrupt? At least the crash happens in exiv2 lib during file reading.
I have a folder with 1GB of files in it, no problem so far.
Can you start digiKam from a console and check the file that causes the crash? There should be some output.
Try to move this file out of the folder and see if it is working.

Yes, it's another crash relevant of Exiv2.

Please update to last stable 0.18.1. libkexiv2, digiKam and kipi-plugins need to be recompiled

May be the same as 189982. At least it's both exiv2's fault.
