A lot of crashes

Hi,

I have to do a lot of image processing / managing at work and decided to start
digiKam (of course :-)), although we are a "Windows" company. Anyway, at the
moment I do all the work on my laptop and recognized a lot of errors in
digiKam:

1. It crashes on every third or so edit
2. Thumbnails in iconview are not updated anymore (I crop and label images
with the editor, but still see the old thumbs in the IE and AlbumUI). F5
doesn't refresh them, only rebuilding the complete thumbsDB helps
3. Moving tags around erases "tag count numbers", you know the numbers beside
the tag name in TagFolderView
4. Sometimes AdvancedSearch doesn't open, digiKam starts eaten up a lot of CPU
and crashes
5. Most input widgets behave strange (Qt4.6 or KDE 4.4 related?)
For example I enter text in a combobox, the text "jumps around" and often even
erases what I just typed in

Maybe this is all related to KDE4.4 and Qt4.6, but still I wonder what makes
digiKam so unstable at the moment?
I am not able to follow the digikam mails at the moment, so maybe I missed
something? Have we already moved to MySQL or something like that?

Is it due to the modelview port?

Anyone expierences these errors, too?

Andi

Hm, can't confirm this. Edited a lot of images in the last days and
didn't have a problem. Backtrace?

Hm yes, may be true. This pure asynchronous computing of the counts is
not a good idea. This is some modeling problem at the bottom of the model.

Marcel, can we use a different item role for each entry in a tree view?
Maybe we can then have one role for the including count and one for the
excluding count, only switching between these roles. This could easen
computing these counts and would also remove the strange model problem
with the search text bar.

Backtrace? ;)

Yes, also noticed this since the upgrade to KDE 4.4 / Qt 4.6. Also the
number input slider does really strange things. sometimes you only see a
black bar below the slider where you normally would see the "ticks". The
resolution seems to be completely wrong.

No.

Should be visible in the backtraces, but eg. for editing there is
nothing changed with the porting.

Not the crashes ;)

I just realized that showFoto doesn't crash when editing... so it must be
digiKam related, not IE in general.
