Description Gregor B. Rosenauer 2009-06-01 23:04:05 UTC
Version:           0.10.0 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29-4.slh.4-sidux-amd64

When trying to copy photos from a local album to a network album, I always get the error in the subject line:
"the process for the digikamalbums protocol died unexpectedly"
(German:
"Der Prozess für das Protokoll digikamalbums wurde unerwartet beendet.")

AutoSkip however works fine and all photos are copied OK.
What does the error mean and why does it occur?

I can copy/move photos fine both within my network and within my local album, but not across albums/network borders it seems.

The network album is shared using a Debian Samba server (latest stable 3.x).

Same for me for 1.0beta5 
My network storage is NFS-mounted (in fstab).
My OS is Opensuse with KDE 4.3.1-169.1 from KDE4 - Factory - Desktop

Rosenauer,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.x serie ?

Comment 3 Gregor B. Rosenauer 2011-12-15 23:08:27 UTC
didn't see this again, just manually copied photos from my USB stick to a network album (samba), no problems with digikam 2.4.2.

Got this problem in 2.7 with lubuntu 12.04/ppa. logout/login (aka restart kde) solves the problem and it seems whole kde was affected as KDE Crash handler also had some strange similar behavior.
Probably those are related bug 227498 - 194925.
Comment 5 Peter Gervai 2015-05-17 09:14:41 UTC
You don't really have to restart the system, just kill off old kdeinit4 instances.
$ killall kdeinit4
(Sometimes it doesn't get all killed, you may want to look in 'ps'.)

This, by the way, sucks. Absolutely user unfriendly. And if I didn't know what causes it it would be really close to impossible to fix, and rebooting to fix something is so windowsey....
Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2015-05-17 09:43:37 UTC
Note : For KF5 port of digiKam all kioslaves will be replaced by an multithreaded interface. It's a GSoC 2015 project.

So this problem will not happen anymore in the future.
