As soon as I open the captions tab, digikam crashes either after assigning a caption or after selecting an image. Means CPU goes to 100 %, the UI is not updated anymore, and it just hangs like this forever. I have re-built the database and the problem persisted. Happens at least since 3.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Assign a caption to an image.
We need a backtrace to hack a crash... Gilles Caulier
Cannot as it hangs (crash was the wrong expression). What can I do there?
Run digiKam into GDB to get a backtrace : http://www.digikam.org/contrib Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 83594 [details] Backtraces; descriptions inside. Backtraces appended.
It crash in Qt core, especially in QLineEdit widget. Sound like your system is corrupted as a binary compatibility issue with shared libs. Of course, here in same condition, digiKam do not crash... In other words, check your system... It's not a digiKam relevant problem... Gilles Caulier
I have current packages from debian sid, digikam, libqt4 and KDE. Re-installed them and nothing has changed. How can I find out more? What other shared libraries might be the cause?
As i can see in backtrace, this come from an issue in Qt or KDE libs. I recommend to report this problem to Debian packagers. Gilles Caulier
