SUMMARY digiKam sporadically becomes totally unresponsive (freezes up) when editing Tags; especially likely when right-clicking a tag to choose "Properties" Sometimes it will crash immediately when I right-click the Tag; other times, it will crash when I click "Properties" in the right-click context menu (Tags) Lately, it also frequently crashes when I drag/drop an image on the tag so as to become the tags thumbnail. I have completely uninstalled and re-installed several times and the problem either immediately returns, or will occur after a bit of use. I have described some of the problem here: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/digikam-freezes-when-right-click-a-tag/18381 It doesn't seem to matter whether it is a parent Tag or a child Tag, and is very random as to which and when it chooses to crash. It has happened in both the Left Tags Search panel and the Right Tags apply panel. When it does crash, everything about digiKam becomes totally unresponsive and never recovers to operable no matter how long I wait. When it crashes, many of the Tags thumbnail images disappear; however, a sure-fire way to make it crash again is to attempt to drag/drop another image - any image - onto any Tag that has had it's thumbnail to disappear. I only ever load jpegs in digiKam; digiKam only ever sees my finished jpegs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION First, I will say this, in theory, design, and layout, digiKam has the absolute best means of applying and searching Keyword Tags; better than any other program I have ever used and I have many....; HOWEVER, when dealing with more than just a handful of Tags, the entire Keyword Tag feature of digiKam is highly problematic and prone to unexpected results and crashes; it is my opinion that the stability of this wonderful Tagging system needs be addressed thoroughly. There are only two features in digiKam that I ever use; the Geolocation Editor and applying and searching Keyword Tags; I wish you guys would build a rock-solid Windows package that had only those two features - the Geolocation Editor and the exact same Tags feature, except rock-solid. Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.
First test the current digiKam-7.0.0-RC version from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ If the problem persists, download and start DebugView from Microsoft. Start digiKam and post the log from DebugView if there is a problem in digiKam. Maik
Please give us minimal feedback, otherwise we cannot help. I see your other messages on PIXLS.US. It is not a good idea to downgrade from digiKam-6.x.x to digiKam-5.9.0 due to database changes. If you have a problem that plugins do not appear in the menu, you must delete the kxmlgui5 directory (in Windows under "AppData/Local" From digiKam-7.0.0 there is a new option in the metadata settings, here the writing of GPS information in images must be activated.

Created attachment 128958 [details] attachment-3603-0.html Update on my situation with digiKam freezing-up and crashing when performing operations in the Tags panels (64-bit Windows 7 Pro) I completely uninstalled everything and installed digiKam 6.4 Stable Release and gave it one more try = it froze and crashed with the very first operation I performed = force closed, re-opened, and tried again two more times with the same result. It finally dawned on me to try "Run as Administrator" With digiKam 6.4 running "as Administrator", I was able to successfully Tag and also edit Tags on several hundred images without a single crash. With digiKam opened with "Run as Administrator", everything I did seemed faster and more responsive. I have downloaded the "digiKam-7.0.0-rc-20200531T011237-Win64.exe" and intend to try it as soon as time allows. Thank you.

DigiKam does not need administrator rights. Your database or images may have incorrect user rights. Then the right solution would be to set the correct file rights. Maik
Created attachment 128959 [details] attachment-5888-0.html To the best of my knowledge, I have all rights in all related image and database folders set for full read/write access for all listed Users plus "Everyone", including full LAN access to all of our other machines. Is there some special rights that I must assign specifically for digiKam ? Thanks.

@Adams digiKam 8.0.0 is out. Problem still reproducible ? Best regards Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 158221 [details] attachment-3917030-0.html So far; so good. I have not had a freeze-up since switching to 8.0.0 Hopefully that will be the end of it.
