http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182858 Summary: digiKam becomes unusable when removing a collection that
is part of a "Find Duplicates" search result
Product: digikam
Version: 0.10.0-rc2
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Searches
AssignedTo:

ReportedBy:

Version: 0.10.0-rc2 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Arch Linux)
Compiler: gcc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-ARCH
I removed a collection (in digiKam's collection setup, not physically) and
restarted the application.
The start-up took nearly 2 minutes. After digiKam was loaded, all image
thumbnails flickered like crazy and where "jumping" around as I hovered over
with the mouse cursor.
Opening htop revealed that digiKam has started over 1000 tasks! After a while
digiKam crashed completely and I restarted again, but no luck.
I even restarted my machine, still the same issue.
After a while I realized that the collection was part of a "Find Duplicates"
search result and that digiKam tried to scan those files all the time, although
the collection was removed from the setup.
The only solution was to eliminate the search from the database:
DELETE FROM Searches WHERE type == 7;
After removing those entries, digiKam started normally again.
We need to make sure that removing a collection updates the "Find Duplicates"
search result, otherwise you are not able to work with digiKam or your computer
anymore.
