           Summary: raw file open with action causes two instances
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: simon margo student utwente nl


Version:           0.9.3 (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

When I try to open a .ARW (sony raw) file in the gimp, for which I made a new entry in the file associations of KDE, I get the active instance of the gimp via gimp-remote (as configured) and a second instance of the gimp after a while (say 20s later). This is very annoying, because it consumes CPU and memory, thus slowing down whetever I'm doing, which is also CPU/mem intensive...

I don't know if my specific situation is causing this, but I'm willing to try suggestions if this cannot be explained by a bug...

Cheers

Simon

Arnd,

This entry is relevant of Gimp not digiKam directly...

Simon, could you try to associate a shell script with .ARW
files and let this script gives some "debug" output,
like
   echo "Starting shell script"
   gimp-remote ...
   echo "finished shell script"
maybe with the passed filename etc.
This should reveal, whether digikam calls this script twice,
or whether it is a gimp-remote problem (i.e. by running the script
from the command line).

Best, Arnd

While trying to implement this test script, I noticed I had two entries for .arw in the file associations found in kcontrol. One (image/x-raw), to which I think I remember adding the .arw extension. The other is image/x-sony-raw. The list of applications is different and also the way gimp is called of those options is different. I also think I remember adding the image/x-sony-raw type (in an attempt to get digikam to list applications for the .arw raw format).

In the image/x-raw type, gimp is called as "gimp", the other image/x-sony-raw is using gimp-remote. If both associations are followed and called, it would explain the double instance of the gimp, due to one of them calling gimp, instead of gimp-remote. I don't think this can be a bug of gimp-remote, since I usually use that to open files with the gimp and only digikam shows this behaviour. I suspect it may be a strange interaction between digikam and the kde file associations, of which I understand very little...

I hope this helps (I assume the test-script is no longer necessary, since this appears to be a much saner explanation than a weird double execute in gimp-remote ;-)

Cheers

Simon

Shouldn't then removing the .arw entry for image/x-raw solve the problem
so that this bug can be closed?

I suppose so, as I can't tell whether this is caused by digikam or the file associations API...
