Digikam on Kubuntu Trusty
Locked
 
|
I am getting pretty discouraged with Digikam on Kubuntu. 3.3 from
precise-Kubuntu-backports was unusable: most editing functions I use simply did not work. Ï have upgraded to Trusty (digikam 3.5) last week. While the editing functions are now back to normal, I am experiencing numerous crashes: I have not been able to keep digikam open for an hour at a time. At the moment I have not identified a pattern. I have had crashes: - while changing from one album to another; - while applying tags to 3 to 6 photos at a time; - while approving edits in the editor; - while saving to new file after edits; - while returning from the editor. However, a cursory look at the bug trackers don't show anything I could quickly identify with. So maybe I am experiencing a local issue. I have not tried any other distribution. I just don't see why, say Fedora, would package a version that does not crash as much. It's the same source code. Right? Anyway, I was wondering if there are others seeing this sort of thing or whether I am all alone out there? Thanks -- Philippe ------ The trouble with common sense it that it is so uncommon. <Anonymous> _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Well. I guess you could say it like that:
Digikam is the most feature rich open-source photo management software, but sadly it's not the most stable one. (I've also experienced numerous bugs & crashes with 3.5 and 4.0.0 beta4 which are the two versions I've tried up to now) Regards, Thomas K. 2014-05-12 22:20 GMT+02:00 Philippe Clérié <[hidden email]>: > I am getting pretty discouraged with Digikam on Kubuntu. 3.3 from > precise-Kubuntu-backports was unusable: most editing functions I use simply > did not work.

A lots of amount of crashes have been reported recently due to a bug
introduced in... sqlite. Updating this external component, including QtSqlite plugin solve the problem. Look this UPSTREAM file from bugzilla for details : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329697 Gilles Caulier 2014-05-12 22:26 GMT+02:00 [hidden email] <[hidden email]>: > Well.

Thanks for both answers.
Patience may be in order here. So maybe I'll wait a few days....
