Created attachment 138786 [details] Strange Activity SUMMARY If a year (2007) with date subdirectories is selected from the Albums, the digiKam activity detected by DebugViev will occur and will last essentially indefinitely. Is this normal? Logfile added. The same behavior occurs in the Table view. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select any Albums folder. 2. Select an album with subdirectories. 3. Vajadusel korrata kuni tekib aktiivsus. 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 There was no user activity while saving the log.
Yes, this is normal, thumbnails will be created if there are none in the thumbnail database. The view loads thumbnails in advance so that they are available more quickly. Maik
Sometimes the background recording activity stops when the user starts the activity but not always. At the moment, the program freezes - the delay for selecting the Table view row has been extended and cannot be selected. Then Preview opens because I have been impatiently pressing the mouse twice. Number of active album images 557. It would be nice if the background processes could be turned off in the settings.
The table view is not really optimized, if special metadata columns are activated, reloading can take time and the table view stops. The thumbnail loading process cannot be stopped and is not the cause of the problem. Maik
hannesj, Do you have the right sidebar tab open with ExifTool page from metadata viewer ? If yes, today i patch the code to optimize well time loading from ExifTool which can take a while in special case with embedded binary data. Gilles Caulier
Thanks for the explanations! Yes really Thumbnails view does not cause the thumbnail loading process to start spontaneously. Although the activities are the same as before today. Is it possible to perform a Table view with much the same code as a Thumbnails view? Only the screen output would be different and limited by the screen size. The R-side ExifTool is familiar to me and I have used it. But there is too much information. A uniform and desired selection of information would be needed. But Table view is in itself an unsurpassed tool. The image information is visible to a greater extent and several images are comparable at the same time. Hannes
Hi Mike! Which metadata columns are having trouble loading? I can turn them off and try. Currently activated: Thumbnail; Creation date / time; Type; Filename; Rating; Geotagged; Tags; Path; Coordinates; Last modified; Digitization date / time; Camera model; Size; Bit derpth; Similarity. Hannes
