Product: [Applications] digikam Reporter: pochini

Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: minor CC: caulier.gilles, tpr

Description pochini 2011-09-29 22:30:03 UTC 
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

Import/add images tool is about 10x slower than it was in digikam 1.9.0 at loading thumbnails. It looks like it loads the whole images instead of the embedded thumbnail only. Also, the "cancel" button is disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select from the menu Import/add images.

Actual Results:  
Thumbnails loading is very slow.

Expected Results:  
It should be faster.

I'm not sure it depends on Digikam. I upgraded a lot of stuff before compiling digikam 2.1.1, thus some library may cause this slowdown. Older versions of digikam, perhaps <= 1.2.0, were as slow as this.

Pochini,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.4 ?
