Can not load most pictures (mostly jpg and png) without futher error messages or additional informations. Some jpg load. From ~10'000 pictures about 100 load the rest does not load instead a placeholder icon is displayed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install latest version available into Umbuntu 14.04.3 2. Start digikam, wait until database is updated 3. Open any of your configured folders Actual Results: Only a few pictures are shown in preview. Most of them, if not all, only have a placeholder icon. Double clicking any of them only gives "Can not load picture". No more information on why. Expected Results: Loading previews. Double clicking a preview opens the picture.
Turn on debug trace and run digiKam from a console. What did you see printed while preview is displayed ? Look here for details about debug trace : https://www.digikam.org/contrib Gilles Caulier
This problem is not reproducible with last 5.0.0 I close this file now. Re-open it if necessary. Gilles Caulier
