Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Is there the possibility to add multicore support in the image manipulation or enhance plugins. Most common cpus ourtimes have dual or more cores ? I saw if there are computing intensiv plugins, only one core is used.
There is also wish in Ubuntu about thumbnail generation with multiple core/CPU: https://launchpad.net/bugs/417819
To be clear here, we need to use OpenMP API everywhere when it's possible... Gilles Caulier
I'm not convinced that OpenMP is the one and only solution for generating multi-threaded code. For pre-existing algorithms it is a nice way but for other stuff that needs more control over the number of threads, synchronization etc. it's not a good way. For the thumbnail generation a thread pool wit a user defined size sounds like a more appropriate solution to my mind.
Please tests and report. My patch is against git/master. Let's me hear if this solution is suitable for you. It's not configurable. Gilles Caulier
sorry for the noise. wrong report Gilles Caulier
