Description backup4g 2024-11-17 14:50:17 UTC
SUMMARY

Been lowkey using digiKam for years. No problems.

Today, it would not populate images or thumbnails for new sub-directories in defined collections. The “monitor for external changes” is checked. Nothing defined in “ignored directories.”

I gave up and trashed my local collection and redefined it. But not a single photo or thumbnail will resolve anymore.

Issue came up on digiKam Version 8.4.0.
I updated to digiKam Version 8.5.0. Restarted. Problem persists.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Start digiKam
2. Define a local collection
3. Notice that nothing happens. 

OBSERVED RESULT

I get a "scanning from <defined directory>" popup that perpetually says 0% complete. Let it sit for 6 hours...no progress.

Only photos that were previously in the "trash" resolve. 

EXPECTED RESULT

I'd like to see the photo thumbnails in my Albums.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 Home

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2024-11-17 15:48:36 UTC
Did you have this folder open in an external Windows application ? Typically Windows can lock access to directories in special cases.

Another possibility: anti-virus active in background?

Based on previous reports, I suspect a defective hard drive. Please check your hard drive.

I appreciate the reply.

It's just a regular folder with sub-directories and jpg files in those. Every image viewer except digiKam shows the folder contents. digiKam can't even find the sub-directories. 

> Another possibility: anti-virus active in background?
No, I run a pretty clean system by focusing on comprehensive firewall and only run anti-virus to vet new downloads or when I'm not working (never in the background to keep my system fast).

I'm also noticing that `digikam.exe` will never leave the task manager as a "background process" after manually shutting down the digiKam. 

Is there a folder size limit when digiKam just decides not to do anything? My main photo directory is 100GB. I did give digiKam 6 hours to vet it earlier today. But periodic checking of windows task manager shows digiKam doing nothing at 0% CPU use.

I got it working
1. I noticed that a completely different directory would work as expected and show thumbnails
2. I completely deleted the digiKam database (a shame since I had almost 900MB of thumbnails already cached and lots of ratings saved. But it still wouldn't work even after deleting the DB.
3. Stepping up the effort:I renamed my photo directory to something else, deleted the database again, chose a new directory location for the database, deleted all .dtrash folders, renamed my main photo directory back again.
4. digiKam is now recognizing the sub-directories inside the defined Collection folder. Progress! But I'll have to see how long before any thumbnails show up.

I think I'll change my tact on how I define Collections. Seems like digiKam can't really handle large collections.

Nothing else seems weird on my computer. But I take potential hard drive failures seriously. How do you recommend checking the hard drive? It's a relatively new Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB
Comment 4 backup4g 2024-11-17 17:03:34 UTC
Still messed up though.
I chose a Collection directory with only 400MB. Less than 250 photos. 
digiKam only shows 4 thumbnails as contents.
The "scanning from" collection folder process window appears to be frozen at 1%. digiKam continues to use 0% CPU. Refreshing the collection doesn't help.
Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2024-11-17 17:38:55 UTC
Please download DebugView from Microsoft, enable internal debugging in the digiKam settings under Miscellaneous->System. Start DebugView, start digiKam again and post the messages in the DebugView window until digiKam stops.

Okay thanks. Here's a wall of logs.

Comment 7 Maik Qualmann 2024-11-17 19:48:44 UTC
First of all, if you are using digiKam-8.5.0, you should revert to the ExifTool version that is in the digiKam directory.
According to the log, ExifTool does not seem to be returning. Here is a very strange file name with special characters:

D:\\Photo Video Audio\\PHOTO SIFT\\2024\\2024Q2\\DALL\xC2\xB7""E 2024-04-02 19.33.38 - Sprout Fashion 1.jpg

If possible, provide this file with the unchanged file name (in ZIP file?).

Created attachment 175900 [details]
Filename with a middle dot

The offending file,
DALL·E 2024-04-02 19.33.38 - Sprout Fashion 1.jpg
has a middle dot character (unicode 0xb7 or 183) that apparently is acceptable by Windows 10 OS.
Comment 9 backup4g 2024-11-18 03:55:45 UTC
Zip with offending file is attached.

The offending file,
DALL·E 2024-04-02 19.33.38 - Sprout Fashion 1.jpg
has a middle dot character (unicode 0xb7 or 183) that apparently is acceptable by Windows 10 OS.

UPDATE
Renaming all files to eliminate unconventional characters did NOT seem to resolve the issue of digiKam failing to populate thumbnails in the Collection Album.

However, after downloading and saving exiftool.exe to a system PATH directory and specifying the exiftool location in Settings > Configuration > Metadata >ExifTool the Collection now populates successfully.

Being that ExifTool is open source, I'm surprised that it's not included within the `digiKam-8.5.0-Qt6-Win64.exe` installation package.

FURTHER TESTING
1. Remove all Collections
2. Shutdown digiKam and delete database
3. populate a test folder with middle dot offending filenames.
4. Start digiKam

Still no issue resolving thumbnails and sub-directories.
It appears that the bug may only happen when ExifTool is not available.

Thanks for the ExifTool tip and for pointing out the possibly offending filename character. digiKam is working for me as expected and as needed again.
Comment 10 Maik Qualmann 2024-11-18 07:12:12 UTC
ExifTool is definitely included in the digiKam-8.5.0 Windows bundle. It was just not complete in the digiKam-8.4.0 bundle due to a packaging error.

Your previous ExifTool version under "D:/Equipment/Computer/Portable/~Media/exiftool/exiftool.exe" must have a strange error, since we actually check the function at startup.

I'll trash that old exiftool. Thanks

For reference, it was part of a GUI package that I had as portable ware installed somewhere else for quick metadata checks.
- ExifToolGUl v3.28 by Bogdan Hrastnik 
- ExifTool by Phil Harvey v7.57

Maybe I inadvertently pointed to it when digiKam 8.4.0 was installed.

Thanks for your help. 
Feel free to resolve the report or whatever.
