SUMMARY I have noticed that, in the 8.0.0 preview, when I select a tag or an album and I select the Map view, the interface can freeze for a while, depending on the number of pictures. For instance, it can freeze for 2 or 3 minutes for 30000 pictures (most of them without gps data). I have tried in a 7.9 version and that doesn't happen (takes 5 seconds at most to load the exact same items), so it's likely a regression. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select an album root containing a few thousand pictures. 2. Select Map view on the top panel 3. Wait until digikam is responsive again OBSERVED RESULT It can take several minutes. EXPECTED RESULT It should only take the time needed to place the items on the map. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04 LTS and digiKam-8.0.0-git-20221124T104306-x86-64.appimage
I can't find any difference to digiKam-7.9.0 here. In digiKam-8.0.0 images that have GPS coordinates are searched in their directories for *.gpx files, these would be displayed as tracks on the map. Since we know that your network file system is very slow, this will probably consume time. We'll probably have to make this new feature optional. Maik
That's a cool feature. I sometimes record .gpx tracks when I go hiking, and use them to correlate the coordinates for these pictures without geolocation. But yes, it's possible that having to recursively look into directories might be the source of that slowdown I experienced.

@MarcP digiKam 8.0.0 is out. This entry still valid with this release ? Best regards Gilles Caulier
No, this problem is no longer present, you can close it.
