Description joachim.kroemer 2023-12-11 11:39:14 UTC

I used Digikam Version 7.8.0 on my computer (Windows 11, 23H2) without any problems. Now I installed the updated version 8.2.0. Basicall it runs well but very often the reaction time even on very simple steps (add a tag, e. g.) is quite long (5 seconds or more), so it is practically useless.
Can someone help or how can I reinstall an earlier version (I do not find earlier versions on the Digikam website)?
Thank you very much.

The current version was created with Qt6 and the Microsoft compiler. For some users this version is very slow. We as developers cannot currently reproduce it on our Windows 10 machines. A stable version created like the previous ones can be found here:

Hi Maik,
Thank you very much, this version seems to work correctly. However, I got some warnings at installation from Microsoft Smart Defender ("unknown distributor") and antivirus software Avast ("FileRepMalware"). I had to temporarily deactivate the security software - I trust that it is okay...
Thank you again and I really like Digikam :-)

Hi all and Merry Christmas time with your family

This file is duplicate one. From the root file, we found a solution to fix time latency under windows introduced with 8.2.0.

Following the comment: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477853#c102

... It sounds working fine now.

Please test and report digiKam 8.3.0 pre-release installer for Windows available at this file:

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Thanks in advance
