Import photos from USB storage device

[Ross Lansdell]

DK 3.1 installed on Kubuntu 12.04.1

Is there a limit to the size of the USB device?

DK freezes when I attempt to import about 30GB from my USB HDD, (ADATA Classic CH94 596.2GB).

When I try to terminate the Import I get a popup:

The window "Images on USB Disk "ADATA CH94" (596.2 GiB) – digiKam" is not responding. It belongs to the application digikam (Process ID = 3858, hostname = localhost).
Do you wish to terminate the application process including all of its child windows?
Any unsaved data will be lost.

You can guess what happens next!

If I use a 16GB USB stick all the images on it are discovered fine and I can select and download as required.

I am trying to migrate from Picasa to Digikam.

It's driving me nuts!

run digiKam in GDB and look if a crash is done in separated thread which manage USB communication.

Thanks Gilles, never used GDB as still a linux novice. Have to go out for a while, but will attempt to use it when I return.

It's simple. Look here :

Just give me the backtrace...

I installed DK from the Kubuntu package so had to install the debug package.

If I enter "gdb digikam" as root  then gdb complains that it cannot find X and then halts.

Running as normal user starts DK normally but when the program freeze occurs, during access to the USB HDD, the only way to ext is by closing the active window which kills the program. Then there is no backtrace!

Would it be better if I uninstalled DK and reinstalled using the current development package?

I shall be unavailable for the rest of today but should be able to use email on my phone.

Thank you for your help.

Never as root. Just use a std user...

 

Running as normal user starts DK normally but when the program freeze occurs, during access to the USB HDD, the only way to ext is by closing the active window which kills the program. Then there is no backtrace!

What do you see in console as debug messages ? Before to run digiKam, start kdebugdialog, and switch on digiKam debug space : Digikam, KExiv2, KDcraw.

 

Would it be better if I uninstalled DK and reinstalled using the current development package?

not sure. I suspect a prblem of memory allocation to store thumbnails from icon view. I'm not sure...
