Description Manuel Koch 2009-08-08 01:46:40 UTC

Version:           1.0.0-beta3 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30.1mko

- Using digikam with german translation
- Created new album directory
- moved hundreds of image files into this directory
- From menu, used "Extras" -> "Search for new pictures"
- digikam found all the images/directories I moved into the directory during
  searching for new files

After the update-dialog is gone, the list
only shows empty albums ( see attached screenshot ).
Clicking on one of the albums doesn't show any image !?

Restarting digikam did not solve the problem.

The files reside on a mounted vfat directory.
The root of the album directories has the following permissions :
ls -al Pictures

PS: The directory is an ext3 mount

Comment 5 Michael G. Hansen 2009-08-08 05:58:11 UTC

Which version of the debian-digikam package do you have? ( apt-cache policy digikam ) 2:1.0.0~beta3-1 is known to have these symptoms, but they are fixed in 2:1.0.0~beta3-1+b1. 2:1.0.0~beta3-1+b1 is available in the repositories, so you can easily upgrade to it:

apt-get update && apt-get install digikam

Comment 6 Manuel Koch 2009-08-08 09:46:31 UTC

Sorry for submitting this bug multiple times...

My installed version is 2:1.0.0~beta3-1

I will install the latest version as soon as it's available on a official 
debian repository ( as this seems to be ok, according to digikam website:
"Debian repositories are mostly up to date, release candidates and beta's 
usually are available from the experimental repository." )

I retry this issue after new version is installed.

Comment 7 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-08-08 13:49:04 UTC

This is usually a packaging problem with the kioslaves, not found, duplicate versions installed, binarily incompatible, whatever

Comment 8 Manuel Koch 2009-08-09 13:50:25 UTC

...and what does this mean ??
Can I do something to solve it ?

Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2009-08-15 10:24:47 UTC

From digiKam team, nothing can be done.

Check new packages, ask to Distro team for better packaging...

You can also compile digiKam by hand and install it properly...

Comment 10 Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 2009-10-04 13:53:44 UTC

Can digikam detect and report about such problems? Right now figuring that out is quite problematic.

Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2017-07-25 19:38:30 UTC

This problem is relevant of digiKam KIO Slaves and all of these have been dropped in favor of a multi-threaded interface to query the database.
