Process Monitor 4.01 Log Item Screenshot.png — https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LB8oetMhHVs8cErWQWXBWUj_gKpW_jmv/view PS. There are no folders on the database disk that have been added to the application's Albums. Missing thumbnails are probably still being created. This is a background process and will not be displayed. If you want to know what digiKam is currently doing, create a DebugView log as described here for Windows: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#windows-host Maik |
Created attachment 179672 [details] Process Monitor 4.01 Log Screenshot STEPS TO REPRODUCE I don't know what exactly needs to be done to reproduce this behavior, but I have been observing this behavior for three days now and I tend to think that this is normal behavior of the application. OBSERVED RESULT The status bar shows "No active process", which is clearly not true. The Windows process manager shows that digiKam, in which I have not been doing anything for several hours, is constantly actively working with the disk on which the application database is located. Process Monitor 4.01 shows a constant active stream of requests to digikam4.db, mainly for reading. EXPECTED RESULT If an app is doing something, I would prefer it to notify what it is doing and how long it plans to do it (ETA). If an app says "No active process", then it should not be actively doing anything, be it scanning files, writing tags to files, or optimizing a database.
