No thumbnails in 2.0.0 beta 6 on Windows

[TKR]

Installed 2.0.0 -beta6 an XP sp3 machine. All seems fine --- except no
thumbnails. Also not thumbnail database as far as I can see. There is a
Digital database - has not extension. When I ask it to rebuild the
thumbnails I see a temp "virtual" file being created which then comes an
goes but nothing remains after the process is completed.

What did I do wrong? 1.7.0 worked fine on Windows and 1.9 seems to work
well on Linux Mint.

Thanks for any suggestions.

No ideas came forward sofar. I have been thinking if it has to do with
not uninstalled digikam 1.7 previous to installing 2.0.0 beta6?

Hi,

I had the same issue untill i deleted all databases and tried again
with a new folder to scan.
Digikam under windows is still very unstable, starts rarely, vrashes
at some .tif or with too many pics(>10k).
And scanning is dead slow.
Still, it is the greatest open source workflow tool under windows.
Adobe Bridge is even less stable!
Irfan and xnview can't useful rate pics.
F-Spot is out, and shotwell was discontinued for windows last month.

So, I'd love to see a stable digikam for windows, but I'm not a
win-KDE  packager.

If it is that bad, and it is not your system that causes instabillity,
you should maybe consider installing Ubuntu. For almost everything under
windows is a good alternative and itś free.

This is strange to see too instability under windows.

I installed current implementation under Win7, with last KDE 4.5.4, and it do not crash a lots. I can work with it to my photo, as under linux, excepted some limitations, as the lack of trash support due to a problem into KDElibs. But it's not new...

I used MSVC 2008 compiler, not Mingw. This last one lack some important implementation, and it's not optimized as M$ compiler. I don't want to promote M$ here, but using MSVC is the best for the moment.

Do you have installed beta6 using my experimental in instaler or do you have compiled it yourself using emerge ?
