Photos don't appear.

[David Mills]

Hi All,

a couple of months ago I had the wrong version of lib kipi installed - so when

I clicked on a folder in my DidiKam albums I saw no photos. Getting the

openSUSE standard version fixed that.

Now it has happened again - although I didn't change libkipi versions (perhaps

an update caused the problem).

I have tried:

digikam-1.5.0-5.1.x86_64 from KDE:UpdatedApps / openSUSE_11.2

libkipi7-4.4.4-500.1.x86_64 from KDE:UpdatedApps / openSUSE_11.2

kipi-plugins-1.3.0-75.1.x86_64 from KDE:UpdatedApps / openSUSE_11.2

libexif-0.6.17-5.2.x86_64 from openSUSE 11.2

If I try removing the digikam db I get messages such as (don't know if any of these are relevant):

...

digikam(32594)/KIPI (loading) KIPI::PluginLoader::instance: KIPI::PluginLoader::instance is null...

...

...

...

klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'.

...

digikam(32594)/digikam (core) Digikam::DigikamApp::slotKipiPluginPlug: Plugin ' "batch_color_images" ' disabled.

There are a few updated versions of these packages available - so then I updated to:

digikam-1.5.0-39.5.x86_64 from KDE:Release:45 / openSUSE_11.2

kipi-plugins-1.5.0-9.4.x86_64 from KDE:Release:45 / openSUSE_11.2

libkipi7-4.5.4-2.5.x86_64 from KDE:Release:45 / openSUSE_11.2

libexif-0.6.17-5.2.x86_64 from openSUSE 11.2

With these the messages I got were:

digikam(7250)/digikam (core): Failed to detect a storage volume for path "/home/Extra/pics/2010/Australia/Hugo/" with Solid

...

Warning: Directory Image, entry 0x0001 has unknown Exif (TIFF) type 0; setting type size 1.

[ repeated many times ]

...

digikam(7250): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:

klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamdates'.

"

digikam(7250)/digikam (core) Digikam::AlbumManager::slotDatesJobResult: Failed to list dates

digikam(7250): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:

klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'.

"

There were about 1/10th the messages for this second set of apps compared to the first.

What am I missing? Or what versions of something do I have that are incompatible?

By the way, for both versions, when you exit digikam, the process remains. Is that meant to happen? Between these tests I killed the digikam process and deleted both digikam4.db and thumbnails-digikam.db

Cheers,

David.

Hi ,

I have just discovered that for all other users on my computer (root and
another user I use for testing) digikam works perfectly.

So what could there be in my home folder that is preventing it from working
correctly?

It can't be digikamrc as I removed that.

Cheers,

David.
