Which kipi-plugins you use ? Calendar tool use Qt4 API to print. Which version you use ? Gilles Caulier I have the same problem. I tried it with Ubuntu 9.10 and Kubuntu 9.10 always with all patches and updates. Kubuntu with KDE 4.3.85 DigiKam 1.0.0-1ubuntu1 and KIPI 0.9.0-1ubuntu1. I tried it with small and large picture, with jpg tif and png files and only for one month. The result is always the same the process take 45 – 70 minutes and the file is about 2.8-6.5 GB (really GB!). I just managed it to open this file the picture is not available and the lines are dim / ugly. Same problem here with Debian Sid, Kipi-plugins 1.0.0-1, qt4 4.5.3: Printing is during incredible long. Not only printing in PDF or PS but also direct output on paper. Everything else prints ok. Cheers Is there a process wasting CPU? same here with opensuse 11.2 original install - fully updated using gwenview OR digiKam creating a calendar > print to file PDF format seems to never end on page 1 already but print to file PS format seems to work normal ( approx 3 minutes for all 12 pages ) but of course its slower because a PS-calendar is about 433 MB in size vs PDF format problem occurs each time and I had a friend repeating the problem 2 days ago on his opensuse 11.2 install as well until a month ago I had opensuse 11.0 and used same calendar feature with zero problems "top" shiows CPU usage (dual core 64 - 4GB RAM): when using gwenview the CPU is fully (95-100%) used by gwenview and when using digikam to print calendar the CPU is fully used by digikam a regular photo print to file PDF format works fine and is instantly printed - the print to file problem occurs only in calendar-tool mode photos used for al above testing were 1600x1200px format Re-assigned to Kdelibs print subsystem. Sound like common problem come from background process to generate preprocessed print files. Gilles Caulier I am having the same problem under Fedora 12. The process takes many hours to complete and creates a huge file >3GB. The file cannot be printed. When you try to get the properties of the file the result never comes back and you have to kill the window. Many months later - the bug is still the same = NO print to PDF file of calendar possible at all !! it simply takes hours to much on a fully updated opensuse 11.2 system with KDE4 and we have already August - too month later than usual date to offer FREE new color photo-calendars for 2011 .... is there ANY work at all on this bug or is this bug a killer bug to end the life of the "create calendar" tool in KDE4.x ?? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Still takes a long time and never completes. Fedora 28 The digiKam plugin print creator do not use since a very long time the KDEPrint framework, but QtPrint instead. Move to right digiKam section... Hi people in this room. Can you reproduce the PDF export from Calendar tool using last digiKam 6.2.0 ? Here, under Linux, it's very fast to generate a PDF file. Thanks in advance. Gilles Caulier digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Best regards Gilles Caulier The plugin creates a calendar quickly on Fedora 32. i only did it for 3 months and it went quickly. Would like to see some way to duplicate the images used without selecting the same one multiple times. The problem can be marked solved. Thanks for the feedback This was an oldie:-) For completelness, as OP, Indeed I can also confirm on 7.0.0 it is going smoothly. Regards, Bert It works under 7.0.0 |
