digikam
2:0.10.0-1ubuntu3

Where I expect to see thumbnails of the pictures, digikam shows no thumbnails.

Using the opengl slideshow shows the pictures.

generating thumbnails shows the thumbnails.



I have digikam configured to use a local collection at 
/home/user/Pictures

with the db stored in
/home/user/Pictures/db

The generated sqlite db is 6.3MB and viewing it shows that Digikam found some pictures.

I thought maybe something was wrong with the db so I removed the settings for digikam and the digikam db file.
removing
~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc
~/Pictures/db


Upon opening digikam the next time, I am asked for the location of the pictures and the location for the db. Again I enter ~/Pictures and ~/Pictures/db.

the ~/Pictures/db directory does not exist so digikam creates it. The next several minutes are spent waiting for digikam to pop up (the splash screen is shown while digikam scans for pictures).

After scanning, the directory structure of pictures/folders is shown in the left of digikam. The middle is empty and the right is the info panel. clicking a different directory does not change the middle, always showing 0 thumbnails.


tools/opengl image viewer shows the pictures

during the 'rebuild all fingerprints', there is a small thumbnail image next to each filename

Already reported. Packages relevant. digiKam need to be recompiled with KDE 4.3. that all...

This problem is relevant of digiKam KIO Slaves and all of these have been dropped in favor of a multi-threaded interface to query the database.
