Initial detection: digikambug1.jpeg: shows the image window, where the second picture in the image window has been edited and other processes are hanging and can not be cancelled. digikambug2.jpeg: shows the directory where the second files is the one edited and contains 0 bytes (so it was corrupted/lost) digikambug3.jpeg and digikambug4.jpeg: shows what happens if you try to terminate digikam digikambug5.jpeg: shows that second picture is now lost. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit a picture 2. Sve back to network share 3. Actual Results: digikam hang Expected Results: Digikam coontinues After having recovered the second picture, problem was reproduced. Environment is Opensuse 13.2, Digikam 4.9 database is MYSQL on network server, pictures are on a samba server on the network. Laptop to network connnection is wifi (300mbit, excellent quality). Digikam was run in a terminal window, terminal output is in termoutput.txt, all required kdebug output is in kdebug.dbg. When digikam hangs directory looks like digikambug8.jpeg. Various other outputs from ps command in psaxjf-out.txt and psaxms-out.txt, output from lsof is in lsof.txt My impression is that there is a serialisation problem between the various process/threads, which gets itself into a deadly embrace. Speed of the save is the inducing factor. Problem is relatively easy to create, but does not happen all the time (but it does happen often). A reboot is required to resolve the hang.

Now using LAN connection problem happens less often, but sometimes still hangs 'writing metadata' Found out that by using 'lsof' which file it is writing to and seems to hang, then to use 'exiftool' on that file will clear the hang and all other waiting tasks hanging behind it.
Crashed after straightening, cropping an image then tried to save as new image in local directory.

If I need to get this from GIT and then needs to be compiled is going to take days, if I ever get it done, never compiled a KDE app. Is there a binary download somewhere 64bit Linux ?
