Sentry Crash Report:

Description Parsifal.Herzog 2012-06-09 20:05:47 UTC 
Selecting a a set of image thumbnails, then selecting "Group Selected by Time" in the context menu, creates as many tasks as images selected entitled "Editing group", which then stay at 0% progress, and cannot be cancelled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some images in thumnail view.
2. Select context menu "Group Selected by Time".
3. In a few moments,  detailed progress window will show multiple non-progressing "Editing group" tasks.
Actual Results:  
No images are grouped, queued tasks cannot be cancelled, when exiting digikam, "Unfinished tasks" dialog appears.

Expected Results:  
Selected images are grouped by time.

This bug appears very similar to Bug 295263, which was fixed for 2.6.0
Comment 1 Parsifal.Herzog 2012-06-10 17:53:46 UTC 
With respect to bug 295263, in which also the queued tasks failed to progress, I have found that selecting an image group, changing a tag, and choosing "Apply to all versions" rather than "Apply" (where problem was fixed) results in the same non-progressing tasks behaviour. I don't know if bug 295263 should be re-opened, but thought it relevant her because the problem relates to image groups.

Git commit eeb0c74b385d3c220dce8fba7167644a67add6d7 by Marcel Wiesweg.
Committed on 17/07/2012 at 21:50.
Pushed by mwiesweg into branch 'master'.

Creating a task with 0 items would introduce a progress item which never finishes.
Generic fix and for the special case of group by time.
