Created attachment 182290 [details] description no responding When I just opened digikam, a lot of pictures needed to be read automatically, and then it kept No responding. I think this experience is not good. I hope it can be fixed. Thank you !
Please describe in more detail what you did. digiKam doesn't display a wait cursor when loading images or thumbnails. Create a DebugView log of the process, as described here for Windows: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#windows-host Maik
Created attachment 182295 [details] freeze debug log
Please check the freeze debug log. Digikam is loading files, but the GUI is unresponsive and I can't click any function menus,just only wait until all the files are loaded.

Is the log complete, and are there no further messages afterward? If so, it would be stuck in ExifTool. Since your images don't contain any metadata, a scan attempt is also attempted with ExifTool in addition to Exiv2. But there is no metadata here either. You are using your own version of ExifTool located at "C:/Program Files/exiftool/exiftool.exe." Please configure our ExifTool version in the digiKam program path. Otherwise, if the log is complete, please provide the file "H:\ABC.digikam\Cc\10000-7\Cc_RefhdisavTrial-Variation.png." Maik
Created attachment 182300 [details] preview font file.
The further log is repeated by adding and adding image files. Every alphabet has 85000+ preview font image files built in python script.Yes. There's not any metadata. I removed my own Exiftools from "C:/Program Files/exiftool/exiftool.exe. However, the GUI has been in an unresponsive state unless all image files are loaded.

Created attachment 182344 [details] highlighted cursor loading all images
After finished adding new items, digikam still not responding .... why ? I guess the digikam is loading all images. The highlighted cursor is on the top level folder. How many images ? 1.76 million . 22.62 GB. The user can't switch highlight cursor to other folder. If don't load all images when highlighted cursor, the issue will be solved.
