Hi,

the "albums view" does not display thumbnails on KUbuntu Bionic Beaver (18.04) beta (daily build). On all other views the thumbnails are displayed.

KUbuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) with the same digikam version (5.6.0) does not show the issue.

Thanks 
Harald

The duplicate Bug 387373 refers to version 5.7.0. But, KUbuntu on Bionic Beaver will be shipped in a few days with version 5.6.0.

The bug on Bionic Beaver daily build is not fixed yet.

And you expected what ? that we will corrige a bug for 5.6.0 has it have been fixed in 5.7.0 ?

Update digiKam to last 5.9.0 or use AppImage. We don't manage KUbuntu internal stuff...

Sadly, we cannot update to 5.7 or later, as they require exiv2 0.26, which we do not have.
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2018-03-30 13:49:43 UTC
Exiv2 0.26 is mandatory. Exiv2 0.25 is full of bugs and crash quickly DK... Please found a solution to update this component. 

After all, this is why a library is updated in time : to fix bugs...

Not mandatory. You have set for 5.6

set(EXIV2_MIN_VERSION    "0.25")

Regardless, I cannot force core developers to update package versions they do not want to, and certainly not after feature freeze.
Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2018-03-30 14:09:26 UTC
This is mandatory for DK version > 5.6. Sorry to try to stabilize the application...

Definitively, this problem is an UPSTREAM stuff. We don't want to permit to use and older release of Exiv2 where we know that it crash DK because of know bugs...

No need to apologise for that, and I certainly agree.

I was just pointing out that this is out of my hands.

I am unsubscribing from this bug.

The patch is public and can also be applied to the outdated digiKam version. But that is the job of the Kubuntu developers. And why is a newer version of Qt being used that does not fit at the time digiKam-5.6.0 was up to date?

Fixed with #387373 and not reproducible with 6.2.0
