Include Album Sub-Tree shows blank page

[Gerry Patterson]

Hello,

I have compiled the digikam 0.9.3 from SVN.  I wanted to see the Include Album Sub-Tree option in action.  However when I enable it, no pictures are displayed in the browser window.  Is there some upgrade procedure I need to do to the database?  If I turn off the option, thumbnails come back.  This occurs on albums that have sub-albums and ones that do not.

Compiled using the SVN scripts from the digikam website, on Kubuntu Gutsy 32-bit.

When running from the terminal, there are no obvious errors.

Any pointers would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks in advance,

- Gerry

So this is then the upcoming 0.9.4, right?
(i.e. you did not use a tarball or the revision precisely
corresponding to 0.9.3 ?).

No, i.e., it should work out-of-the box because
the database is not affected.

Weird.

I have no clue at all ...

Anyone else having any idea?

Hello,  First thank-you for the response. 

I made a backup of the digikam3.db.  Next I tried with the latest code in SVN as I wanted to see that nifty image counter stuff that was just put in.  But, I ran into this problem so I then did an 'svn update -r 751702' (I think that is the corresponding revision number for 0.9.3)  Next, I did a make clean, make install.  I also restored the digikam3.db.  But I still get the same symptoms.

Something to note. 

I am running this version of digikam from my home directory.  There is another version of digikam installed by the system packages as well. 

To get digkam to configure properly, I edited the configure script to look for the svn versions of libkdcraw, etc... first, instead of the ones on the system.  (This is a known problem according to the forums).  When I was at the latest version in SVN I checked out the image counter feature.  But, all of the albums were reporting (0) yet I could see the thumbnails fine.  If I open up digikam 0.9.2 (installed in the system via packages), everything appears as normal.

I'll try enabling debug and see if some output occurs in the terminal.   I'll report back with findings.

Thanks again for responding!

Just one thought:

when you followed http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn
did you also do

export DIGIKAMDEST=/home/fabien/myopt
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMDEST:/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/bin:$PATH
kdeinit

THe important bit is the kdeinit
(actually, kbuildsycoca should be sufficient).
If you don't do this, there might be a mismatch in the kio-slave
communication, which is used to fetch image numbers etc.,
if I remember correctly.

Best, Arnd

Hello  Arnd,

That was it.  Thank you!  I saw the bit about kdeinit before, but thought  if I ran the start_digikam.sh script I wouldn't need it.  I have since added this to my startup script.  Would it be right to update the script on the website to include this?

Just another thank you as well: 

The main reason I dug into this was I shoot almost exclusively in RAW with my canons but found, on my PC it was very slow to open the images to preview them properly.  Then I discovered the 'double click shows embedded preview option'.  This worked great except for pictures that were shot in portrait.  In 0.9.2 the embedded preview was not rotated when displayed.  (The thumbnail was and so was the image when opened up in the editor, just the preview wasn't).   This is fixed in 0.9.3!  Wonderful!

Best Regards,

- Gerry
