Description S. Burmeister 2009-06-08 19:59:30 UTC

Version:           1.0 svn (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If I start the ken burns slideshow within a folder that contains ~160 pictures it takes minutes before it actually starts.

There is no progress indicator thus the user does not know whether there is something wrong or not.

This is a dual-core with 2GB RAM and a NVIDIA 7600 with the binary driver, so openGL effects or peformance should not be an issue.

digikam is 1.0 svn and kipi:
kipi-plugins-lang-0.3-5.10
libkipi-devel-4.2.4-1.4
kipi-plugins-0.3-5.10
libkipi6-4.2.4-1.4

I should add, the pictures were 10 Megapixel RAW and/or PNG.

Comment 2 Andi Clemens 2009-07-21 21:45:10 UTC

I patched a lot of stuff here.

Sven,
could you please test with latest KIPI from SVN or kipi-plugins-0.5.0, which
will be released this weekend?

With todays svn checkout of kipi-plugins I cannot reproduce the delay anymore.
