Description DP 2017-12-01 05:38:29 UTC
I recently did fresh install of digicam on a win10 machine and it found a few folders with hundreds of images each.  If I open one of those albums,  double click on a picture I get to the gallery with thumbnails along the top and images at the bottom.  Browsing too quickly through these images by pressing the right arrow repeatedly very reliably crashes the app with a runtime exception (no more details in the error).  I haven't found any factor other than speed that causes the problem.  Once the key advancing gets too quick, the image doesn't load before I hit next.  I get an "image failed to load" message in top right that seems to be a result of this,  and then if you keep pressing right arrow the application crashes.  I suspect maybe a race condition between the loading of the image and the advancing.   It makes it hard to flip through a gallery quickly and safely without exiting the whole app :(

Good news,

After 2 weeks of works, the pre-release 6.1.0 bundles are now reconstructed from scratch with:

- All OpenCV options for CUDA, OPenMP, and OPenCL disabled to prevent crashes
in face management.
- A large upgrade of Qt5 from 5.9.7 to 5.11.3.
- An upgrade to KF5 5.55.
- An upgrade to Ffmpeg 3.3.9
- The fontconfig/freetype integration in the bundle to reduce system
dependencies

Files can be downloaded here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please test and report.

Apologies for glacial reply but just managed to install the latest digiKam beta and it seems to be quite stable.  Thanks for the hard work,
