When loading digikam with a big pictures folder digikam gives the following output (debug):

and shows the application with empty albums tab.

my pictures folder contains 6041 pictures and the total size is 9.5 giga.

database is full? Seems like a problem with harddisk space?
Comment 2 Nir Dremer 2005-09-18 23:35:25 UTC
happens only when pictures folder is on NFS, when local folder works good.
Comment 3 Tom Albers 2005-09-18 23:42:42 UTC
See other bugreports about it. you could place the database on another place.
Comment 4 Nir Dremer 2005-09-19 00:30:33 UTC
why not fixing it to support nfs?

i dont think it's a big bug and maybe a simple solutions like:
1. writing db file in chunks instead of once (assuming this is how it is being done).
2. giving the ability to configure the location of the db file so it alone can be saved on local storage?

any chance to address this issue?
Comment 5 Renchi Raju 2005-09-19 04:12:22 UTC
the db writing part is handled by sqlite. for nfs based album library paths, have a look at --enable-nfs-hack flag for configure (./configure --help)
