Description Michal Sylwester 2014-01-21 01:25:36 UTC
Running maintenance -> image quality sorter leaks memory.
When running on my collection it leaked few MB/sec up to around 7G (around 6-7% of my collection according to progress bar) when I stopped it. Had to exit digikam to release it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Maintenance -> Image Quality Sorter

Actual Results:  
Memory usage grows around few MB/sec
It is not released until exiting digikam 

Expected Results:  
Memory usage stays flat, any extra memory allocated during quality sorting is released after this process ends.

... the approach to fix this problem is under way and new digiKam 5.8.0 pre-release bundles will be compiled tonight to lets a chance to end-users to give a feedback about this fix before the 5.8.0 official release planed before Christmas 2017.

The bundles will be available in 2 hours at this url:

Please do not waste time to test if this file is always valid for next 5.8.0.

Thanks in advance
