Since version 8.8.0, I no longer see any percentage values, neither when updating the database, nor when reorganizing faces, nor when confirming faces, etc. It always says 0%. Everything worked fine with 8.7.0. I use Digicam on Windows Server 2019 64. Is there a log I should post about this?
We are now only updating the progress every 50 ms to prevent the GUI from slowing down. There are no problems here; I will test it on Windows tomorrow. Do the 0% remain visible or do they disappear again? Maik

Hi, with version 8.9.0, digiKam doesn’t start on Windows Server 2019
Do you seen an error on screen ? Can you take a look to this contribute page section for more investiguation: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#windows-host
Created attachment 186690 [details] The start Log No, there is no Error Screen, it comes the Start Screen and then nothing more. After a reboot of the System i see a small time the Gui and dann nothing, attached the Log
Created attachment 186691 [details] Second Digicam Log I renamed the File who was last output in the first log and start Digicam new, now the Output of the Log is a outher, but the Problem is the same
This image appears to be causing a crash in the JPG Loader: "D:/Bilder/Laya/2023/05-06_2023/Mai-Juni_2023 (53).jpg" Please remove the image. If this is the cause, we would like to have it to help us determine the problem. Additionally, the face recognition database "D:/Images/recognition.db" is corrupted. Please delete it; it will be recreated. Maik
Created attachment 186709 [details] After delete the Picture Hi, thank you for your fast help, i think the problem is not the Image , i have delete it in the folder but the problem is the same
Created attachment 186710 [details] After delete the recognition.db Here the Log after the delete of recognition.db, the Problem is the same
I try it once again and now the lastr rows of the Log shows this [8564] digikam.database: Attempt to create invalid tag pair image id 29235 tag id 0 [8564] kf.windowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin [8564] digikam.metaengine: Check ExifTool availability: true
I tested it again and it seems to be a problem with QT6. Version 8.8.0 QT 6 gives the same log message and crashes, but version 8.8.0 QT 5 runs fine, except for the percentage display.
Okay, I also have a Windows 10 machine here (Server 2019 is also based on Windows 10) where the Qt6 version crashes. The cause is QWebEngine, which is causing a crash in a Windows DLL file. We'll see if it gets fixed in a newer Qt6 version in the future. A current Qt5 version for testing progress is available here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/legacy/ Maik
Created attachment 186763 [details] Still 0 or 100% With QT5 8.9.0, Digicam does not crash, but the percentage remains at 0 or 100%. The process has been running for about 10 hours now and is still at 0.

The fact that the process isn't terminating must have another cause. I see these messages in the log; we've seen this before: Attempt to create invalid tag pair image id 29235 tag id 0 It's processing a "empty" face; we need to investigate. Maik

Thomas, Can you check the last Maik fixes included in digiKam 8.9.0 pre-release available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 187417 [details] Crash afer the start Hello, with the latest x64 QT6 DigiCam starts but Crashes then directly, Attached the Log
There is nothing special to see in the debugview trace. All sounds like normal for me. We need the Microsoft debugger trace. It's explained here : https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#windows-host-1 Best regards Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 187627 [details] Studio I'm not familiar with Studio and the QT debugger, so I'm not sure if this is what you need.
I also experienced this crash on one of my Windows test systems. The crash originates from the QWebEngine component and ends with the usrtbase.dll file. Gilles plans to rebuild digiKam for Windows (newer Qt version etc) over Christmas. In my case, the cause was the old Intel HD graphics driver; there isn't a newer driver available. I switched to the Microsoft Basic graphics driver, and there are no limitations. digiKam no longer crashes on this machine. Maik
Hi, this is a nice workaround, t tryed it also, and at this time it seems to be run fine at the moment
Created attachment 187708 [details] No Path Hi, I don't know if this is related, but in the “Properties” window, the path is no longer displayed, only the drive. This was different before, as the complete path was always shown.
The path problem is just a display problem. It's fixed in next 8.9.0
Created attachment 187766 [details] unconfirmed Picture Hello, thank you, I will wait for the next version. However, I still have a couple of things that are “strange.” I will just use this thread for that. If that is incorrect, please let me know. I have an image that always remains in the unconfirmed folder, no matter what I do with it, reject, accept, etc., it always stays there. What could be the reason for this?
Created attachment 187767 [details] preview images Sometimes I have preview images that are displayed repeatedly, but I can't see them in the preview because I get the message “Image cannot be loaded.” When I select “Open data management,” I am shown a completely different folder where the image is not located.
And then there is the case where thumbnails are displayed, but when I want to view them in the preview, I get the message “Image cannot be loaded.” I cannot view these in the file manager either. What can I do? Thank you ver
please shre the problematic image for investigation
