Description Axel Krebs 2013-01-19 13:47:17 UTC 
digiKam does not atart reliable anymore. Sometimes, it takes forever. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Happens five times since two days 
2. Started from comand line- error log enclosed
3. 
Actual Results:  
When starting digiKam, it takes long times (3 or 4 minutes?).

In "system monitor", I can see, that digiKam takes about 18 to 20 MB memory. Earlier days it reserved more and more memory, and, when using some 320 MB, it would appear 8open) on desktop.

Now, it takes memory up to this limit then "crashes silent" without further viseble reactions.

Maybe relatet to quicktime?

Expected Results:  
Something slows down regular use of digiKam: writing metadata,(tags), starting up or even crashing.

Digikam sould start up quicker, work quicker and much more reliable.

From your log, not KDE KIOSlave structure is present to run digiKam KIOSlave properlly. It's not a digiKam fault, it's system fault...

Check your system, or install a new one cleanly. Can you image that we develop or use digiKam in same conditions ? I never see this error on my system, and i use digiKam everyday...

digKam KIO slaves have been removed since 5.0.0 and replaced by a multi-threaded interface.
