Bug 267742

Application: digikam (1.5.0)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3"
Qt Version: 4.6.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop x86_64
Distribution: "openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64)"

-- Information about the crash:
I recently installed SuSE 11.3 on a new machine, copying files from my old 11.2 system. My ~/Pictures folder is a symlink to /usr/local/share/Pictures. I copied the pictures from my old system, where I used digikam, to the new computer and started digikam. The app started and showed all of the directories, but would not display any pictures. I next moved the contents to another location, deleting the old db and thumbnails file, intending to instead import the pictures. However digikam no longer starts, going directly to the crash report.

I do note that in the Pictures directory I see a new digikam4.db file. Restarting with this file in place causes a fast crash. If I delete the file there is a pause from startup to crash, and a new copy of the file is created.

The crash can be reproduced every time.
