Bug 237752

Version:           0.10.0 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-18-generic

I work since about 2 weeks using didkam to add Metadata to my pictures (local HDD). That worked well but now I experience sudden crashes wenn applying the selected key word (already in key word list). CPU load goes to 100% until I close the crash report (.. caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)).

When starting again it works and nothing seems to be lost but the time between crashes gets shorter and shorter. The picture folders contain more than 16.000 pictures.

I use digiKam on Ubuntu Jaunty (Gnome environment).

If you need any further information let me know.


I guess there is another issue. I write all Metadata into the pictures but the picture quality (1-5) seems not to be written into the Exif / IPTC data. Is there any possibility to automatically write these values (from DB) to the pictures? I handled already a few thousands of them and don't want to lose that work.

Thanks a lot in advance

Helmut
