Bug ID: 422530
Summary: Lockups make digikam unuseable
Product: digikam
Version: 7.0.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: stephen.j.hil...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Digikam 7.0.0 Beta 3 results in a lot of lock-ups (white screen, spinning
wheel). This was sometimes an issue with 6.4 but not as bad. Digikam has
become unusable now.
In addition, sometimes I can edit photos but the editor can't export to a
network share (can export to local SSD OK though)
Closing down Digikam always resolves the issue (system returns to normal
operation, no more lockups, photo editors can export to network share OK)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using a photo editor prior to opening Digikam works fine.
2. Start Digikam.
3. As long as no other applications are open, I can browse photos in DigiKam,
set tags etc.
4. If I "open with" in Digikam to open the photo in DxO Photolab or Capture One
and then export the photo, the export fails from both editors if the export is
to the same directory as one of the digikam albums (which are all on network
shares). If I export to the local SSD that is not a Digikam album, the export
works.
5. If I then open windows explorer and try to view a directory containing
images in a digikam album, the computer locks up (white screen, spinning
wheel). It sometimes comes back after a few minutes, but then locks up again
if I explore another directory.
6. If I shut down Digikam (close task via task manager) , everything returns to
normal.
OBSERVED RESULT
Multiple issues
- DxO Photolab or Capture 1 fail when exporting photos to a network share that
is a digikam album.
- Explorer locks up when opening a network share that is a digikam album.
EXPECTED RESULT
- DxO Photolab or Capture 1 export photos successfully
- Explorer opens directories successfully.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 Pro
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- PC running Digikam is a Windows 10 PC with 256G SSD and 16GB RAM
- Photos are located on a server PC running Windows Home Server (based on
Windows Server 2008R2) and using standard windows file sharing.
- PC running Digikam has the P: drive mapped to a network share containing
photos on the home server.
- PC running Digikam has the digikam database stored on a local SSD.
