Sound like a problem with your Exiv2 which hasn't compiled with XMP support... Gilles Caulier The error messages do not explain any underlying problem leading to an endless loop. Nonetheless, I would recommend to update digikam to recent 1.0 beta and libexiv2 to version 0.18.2. Switch on debug message for digikam (kdebugdialog, code 50003) - usually you see on the console which files are currently scanned, and if there is a loop. digiKam 1.0.0 is out since few days... http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/491 Please try with this version coming with more than 400 bug-fixes. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier digiKam 1.1. release will be done in few days. Please check if this entry still valid. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier digiKam and Kipi-plugins 1.2.0 are out. Please check if crash is still valid there. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier No report there from user since a long time. Please try again with digiKam and kipi-plugins 1.2.0, else i will close this file... Gilles Caulier We need user feedback there to continue... Gilles Caulier Please update this entry from bugzilla with current 5.8.0 pre-release bundle to see if problem remain. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier No feedback since a very long time in this file with a lots of commits done in source code. I close this file now. Reopen if necessary. |
Version: digikam-0.10.0-r1 (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages A user was having problems (unrelated to digikam) with her KDE4.3.3 plasma workspace. We had recently upgraded the systems from kde3.5. I moved her .kde4 directory to a backup location and logged her in again. This fixed the desktop problems we were having but of course all of her previous [application] settings had to be redone. We started digikam and pointed it at her "Pictures" directory. The users "Pictures" folder had a link to a network drive with 19G of images in it: eg ./Pictures (digikam images folder) digikamdb.4 (200M+) SomeLocalFolders LinkToNetworkFolder (19G) The digikam dialog said it was scanning images in the folders. This went on for hours. I noticed the digikam4.db file was reaching several hundred megabytes in size. Eventually the information at the bootom of this message started coming out slowly. I let it run for a while until I noticed the message sets repeating (after about 257 messages) at which point I killed the process. As mentioned earlier the users "Pictures" folder had a link to a network drive with 19G of images in it: eg ./Pictures (digikam images folder) digikamdb.4 (200M+) SomeLocalFolders LinkToNetworkFolder (19G) When I removed the link, the program was able to start correctly, and the digikamdb.4 file returned to a sane size (279k). There are other users on the network with access to the same network folder in a setup similar to the structure listed above (and same KDE and digikam versions). Their .db files are on the order of 5M or so. This particular users digikam had been working fine previously. I tried replacing her ./share/apps/digikam and ./share/config/digikamrc with files from her original .kde4 directory to see if it helped, but the same errors occurred. Below is the repeating section of output created by digikam while "Scanning the folders". I have removed some [200] of the repeating lines and added some comments inside brackets < like this >: Note ------------------ output ------------------------ $digikam <pause of several minutes while dialog indicates folders are being scanned > Warning: Directory OlympusCs, entry 0x0101: Strip 0 is outside of the data area; ignored.
