Description 9db29ca8-9396-4cce-8e4a-64d030c6d936 2025-07-08 21:18:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
When the digiKam window is closed, the actual digikam.exe process will linger indefinitely, (taking up over 750MB of RAM for no reason and possibly still leaving open file handles).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Close digiKam
2. Check for digikam.exe processes

OBSERVED RESULT
The digikam.exe process will never close.

EXPECTED RESULT
The digikam.exe process should close, closing all file handles and freeing up memory.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
