Description vic_herring 2024-04-17 02:55:06 UTC

When trying to Edit the Geolocation of a photograph the system seems to go into an infinite loop. Just hangs, some photos its fine then others it hangs. Happens in about half the photos.


SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Go to Edit Geolocation and that's fine. 
2.  Go to paste in coordinates or use the Search panel on the right side and the system freezes. Never comes back and often have to reboot the system.
Sometimes it works just fine. Can never tell.


Run my Database on the D: Drive on SSD and my Photos are on a Synology NAS

Most the time this system works fine it is GeoLocation that gives the issues.

Please try the pre-release digiKam-8.4.0 version to see if the problem can be reproduced.

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

Otherwise we need a DebugView Log, as described here for Windows: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/
