DigiKam 3.4.0 Memory Problem

Mick Sulley
On Linux Mint 16 running DigiKam

Version 3.4.0
Using KDE Development Platform 4.11.5
16Gb RAM 40Gb swap space

Start Digikam, all seems normal, memory usage looks about right
Tag a single face and the memory usage steadily increases over the next few minutes and keeps increasing, using all of the RAM and well into the swap space so that the whole system comes to a halt.
If I close DigiKam the window closes but the process continues to run and the memory usage continues to increase. If I end the process then the memory is immediately released.


This does seem to be reproducible.


Any ideas what could cause this? Is there anything I can do to provide more useful information?

Thanks
Mick

Hi Gilles,

Thanks for the reply.  I just installed Mint 17 with DK 3.5.0 on a
virtual box and tried that with a small section of my album.  That seems
to work fine.  Would you expect the problem to be fixed by moving to
3.5.0?  If so I will probably upgrade to Mint 17 as the easier fix.

Thanks
Mick
