Bug ID: 433468
Summary: DigiKam Create HTML Gallery lockup
Product: digikam
Version: 7.1.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Plugin-Generic-HTMLGallery

SUMMARY
64-bit DigiKam 7.1.0 for 64-bit Microsoft Windows 10 locks up when attempting
to Create HTML Gallery using Simple/Natural template. Not sure if it is just
my system, but this appears to be a consistent bug since upgrading from DigiKam
7.0.0 to DigiKam 7.1.0. I was able to successfully create galleries with
DigiKam 7.0.0, but have not been able to since upgrading to DigiKam 7.1.0 using
the same/identical settings and images.
What happens is that it gets to "create directories" ... "copying theme" ...
"generate images and XML files" ... "create directories" ... "create
directories" ... "generating files" and then stops. Progress bar says "0%" and
remains there regardless of how much time is waited for. Clicking "Back" and
then "Cancel" and then closing DigiKam does not stop the process though and
DigiKam must instead be manually terminated from the Windows Task Manager. In
DigiKam 6, HTML gallery generation using the exact settings might take anywhere
from a few seconds for small albums to under an hour for very large albums.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create HTML Gallery
2. choose image selection method: albums
3. Simple Theme
4. Natural Style
5. save image format: JPEG
6. save image quality: 100%
7. save image max size: 1024 px
8. include full-size original images for download: yes
9. thumbnail format: JPEG
10. thumbnail quality: 100%
11. thumbnail size: 128 px
12. open in browser: no
OBSERVED RESULT
Application gets stuck at 0%. Closing application does not end stuck/locked-up
process, and digikam.exe must be manually terminated from Windows Task Manager.
EXPECTED RESULT
HTML gallery creation.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
64-bit DigiKam 7.1.0
64-bit Microsoft Windows 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As part of additional testing, I uninstalled DigiKam 7.1.0 and then installed
DigiKam 7.0.0. HTML Gallery creation now works correctly, with medium-sized
galleries containing hundreds of images created within just a minute or so
(using identical settings and images from DigiKam 7.1.0). So downgrading to
DigiKam 7.0.0 is a practical workaround and the issue is specific to just
DigiKam 7.1.0.
