Created attachment 185356 [details] Thumbnails green with 0kb file but with face recognitation confirmed! First of all, I don't have much experience in IT and I really appreciate the hard work of everyone who keeps Digikam running!!!!!! I was tagging people's faces, but I started noticing that some thumbnails had that green icon indicating that the file could not be processed, until I realized that the files had 0KB. What worried me the most is that the files were of people and files for which I had already confirmed the identification, which means that I would have already seen that image and everything was fine, but now it is corrupted with 0KB.What I could remember is that sometimes the digikam crashes because it's an old i5, but still, corrupting the file is very distressing.
I don't think digiKam is the cause. Are you writing the metadata to the images? Please check your hard drive for errors and make a backup. I suspect your hard drive is dying. Maik
Sounds like the famous Exiv2 bug not able to write the Exif chunk > 64 Kb. Using XMP sidecar instead to touch image file metadata must fix the problem. Gilles Caulier
Any feedback on this? Do you write metadata to the images? Have you checked the hard drive for errors? Maik
@ Duarte Any feedback please following last comment from Maik ? Gilles Caulier
Not reproducible. Work around is to use ExifTool metadata backend. Closed.
