--- Comment #9 from willem <whob...@gmail.com> --- Ran the app I built. Opening dialogue says: Work in progress This version of KPhotoAlbum has substantial changes to the index.xml file format! Make sure you have a backup of your database! Be prepared to re-create any changes that you make (if we have to fix the file format)... When the app was gathering data I followed with journalctl -f. No errors were showing up in the log. In fact: no kphotoalbum messages were showing up at all. Even when the app showed this error (translated) : Errors extracting video thumbnails Error was: unknown stil no log message appeared.) I pressed OK. Then a message appeared telling me (translated): not all video thumbnails could be extracted. Either the file is damaged or very short. Etc... I pressed OK. Then again I got: Errors extracting video thumbnails Error was: unknown Pressed OK again. The media scan proceeded. The message: Errors extracting video thumbnails Error was: unknown reappeared. Even though I did not press OK (I was clicking somewhere else at that moment, kphotoalbum was losing focus) that error messages disappeared. Still no journal message. BTW: - The scan was very much slower then WITH the log errors. - At times the scan dialogue would say: kphotoalbum is not responding - though no messages in the log showed up, the terminal from which I started kphotoalbum many messages did appear, too many to copy here, but some recurring messages were: -- Warning: Directory Image, entry 0x0111: Strip 2477 is outside of the data area; ignored. -- Error: Directory Sony1 with 7168 entries considered invalid; not read. -- Warning: Directory Canon has an unexpected next pointer; ignored. -- kphotoalbum.ImageManager: "Unable to convert string \"\"to double (for file [...] -- qt.gui.imageio.jpeg: Unsupported marker type 0x7e (or other numbers) -- qt.imageformats.tiff: "Unknown field with tag 50341 (0xc4a5) encountered" -- Error: Directory Panasonic with 14080 entries considered invalid; not read -- Warning: Directory SonyMinolta, entry 0x0088: Data area exceeds data buffer, ignoring it. -- Invalid SOS parameters for sequential JPEG -- kphotoalbum.ImageManager: "Unable to convert string \"N/A\"to double (for file [...] -- Error: XMP Toolkit error 203: Duplicate property or field node -- Warning: Failed to decode XMP metadata -- qt.gui.imageio.jpeg: Unsupported marker type 0x53 Eventually the scan finished without error dialogues. So, from what I can see the change did solve the issue of the error messages in the logs (and the crashes at start up). Is this helpfull at all? Only trying to help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
