Bug ID: 443063 Summary: Not a bug but it would be a good enhancement if the find duplicates will take advantage of more than one processor. On a fast 4core machine with several photo albums it takes over 7min, usage on 3 core of 4 is zero. Product: digikam Version: 7.2.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: Searches-Similarity Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: alx241...@libero.it Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use the find duplicates on a whole album collection 2. click and while you wait 5 or 7 minutes, open the task manager 3. You can see low hard drive usage, zero network usage, only a little usage on the first core OBSERVED RESULT The function is not taking advantage of multicore processor which is almost a de-facto standard on modern computers. EXPECTED RESULT Would be great if rather than getting stuck 5 minutes or more for a task on a single core it will take 3 minutes by leveraging 2 or more cores. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 21H1 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Working on i7-1165g7 4core netbook with 16gb ram DDR4 and full SSD NVME storage I would not expect to see this click and wait behaviour on any software but windows updates. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
