Summary:	erasing files should be an independent process in digKam
Product:	[Applications] digikam	Reporter:	Axel Krebs <axel.krebs>

Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	major	CC:	caulier.gilles, smit.meh

Latest Commit:		Version Fixed In:	5.7.0

Description Axel Krebs 2013-01-19 13:29:41 UTC

Sometimes, there are many processes going on simultaneously. If these are kept as individual processes, they can be treate (and stopped!) as single entities. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. when running several processes, files erasing does not apppear as an independent processes
2. erasing does not appear at all as a process
3.
Actual Results:  
unfortunately, there is no way within digiKam to stop  running deleting process at all

Expected Results:  
Deleting should be kept carefully as an individual process. 
Only in this case (??), the process can be stopped as a single task, without "killing" digikam completely. in this case, the integrity of digiKam database could be indangered.

Hi Axel

Deleting pics is a KDE's routine. digiKam just calls the API. You must have noticed, when you delete the pics, your KDE's system tray will show you a notification of a process which indicates deletion of pictures. You can stop them from there. You dont need to "kill" digikam for stopping it.

@Gilles, I am closing this bug. Reopen it if you feel something is supposed to be done here.

hi Smit:

does this mean, that other processes, as given in service manager e.g.,
are digiKam internal processes?

Hmm... ?!


Thanks, Axel

Smit, closing as invalid is fine...

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2017-07-26 07:04:44 UTC

Since digiKam 5.0.0 we have an independent database trash management with a dedicated trash album  for each collection. The low level file processing with trash is don through a multi-threaded interface.
