Description Axel Krebs 2013-01-19 13:29:41 UTC
Sometimes, there are many processes going on simultaneously. If these are kept as individual processes, they can be treate (and stopped!) as single entities. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. when running several processes, files erasing does not apppear as an independent processes
2. erasing does not appear at all as a process
3.
Actual Results:  
unfortunately, there is no way within digiKam to stop  running deleting process at all

Expected Results:  
Deleting should be kept carefully as an individual process. 
Only in this case (??), the process can be stopped as a single task, without "killing" digikam completely. in this case, the integrity of digiKam database could be indangered.

Hi Axel

Deleting pics is a KDE's routine. digiKam just calls the API. You must have noticed, when you delete the pics, your KDE's system tray will show you a notification of a process which indicates deletion of pictures. You can stop them from there. You dont need to "kill" digikam for stopping it.

@Gilles, I am closing this bug. Reopen it if you feel something is supposed to be done here.

hi Smit:

does this mean, that other processes, as given in service manager e.g.,
are digiKam internal processes?

Hmm... ?!


Thanks, Axel

Smit, closing as invalid is fine...

Since digiKam 5.0.0 we have an independent database trash management with a dedicated trash album  for each collection. The low level file processing with trash is don through a multi-threaded interface.
