Pictures in an album is not recognized (generic thumbnail) if the album name consists of unicode characters. Once I change the name to English, digikam successfully generates picture thumbnails. Also, it seems the pictures' metadata are not read correctly - if I go to the Dates view, those pictures are categorized in one wrong date. (Again with generic thumbnails)
Which kind of album name do you use ? Gilles Caulier
If thumbs are not visible, can you show image preview (F3) or edit image (F4) ? Gilles Caulier
One of the example album name is "2008.12 종강" (without quotes). I cannot show image preview (I get "Failed to load image") or edit it (just blank window shows up).

I just tested with digiKam 4.10.0 for Windows. It seems it just cannot deal with any unicode characters in folder or file names. For example, I just made a duplicate copy of a .jpg file that digiKam has read without any problem, and rename it to Հայաստան.jpg. digiKam showed me "Failed to load image".

Do you use SQlite or Mysql database ?

Bug fixed with digiKam Version5.0.0-Beta7 Steps to reproduce: 1) Add new image in Test Album 2) Rename image to 여보세요.jpg 3) Picture thumbnail is generated. Please try with the latest release.
I tried with other non Latin languages (Arabic and Japanese), picture thumbnail is still generated.
