Description Frank 2024-06-05 10:29:37 UTC

Hello,
I would like to create a mosaic image using the Image Mosaic Wall... tool (Extras/Image Mosaic Wall..), which works well with the standard grid settings of 100 x 100. However, if I change the grid settings, e.g. 150 x 150, and then click on "Create Mosaic", the entire digikam program usually crashes without an error message. Sometimes you also get an error message that the read operation could not be carried out in the memory.
Perhaps you can fix the problem in a future version.
Many thanks and best regards
Frank

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  open the Tool Image Mosaic Wall
2.  create a mosaic with the default settings
3.  change the default settings (for example grid settings 150 x150)
4. click the button "Create Mosaic" the program will crashes immediately

OBSERVED RESULT
- the program crashes immediately

EXPECTED RESULT
- creation of the mosaic
