Problem with Batch Queue multi core processing
 
|
Gilles, My system has a 6 core CPU with 16 GB of main memory; OS is openSUSE Leap 42.3, I am running DK 5.7.0-178.7 as provided by SUSE distribution. I am encountering a problem with multi core processing in BQM when converting NIKON raw files and using all 6 cores; BQM is using the following workflow: Color Auto-correction Sharpen Image Color Effects Convert to JPEG This works fine with just ONE image in the run-Queue and "Work on
all processor cores" enabled. With more than one image in the
queue I only get a pattern of fine lines in RGB colors in the
resulting jpegs . Disabling "Work on all processor cores" I get
correct results for all pictures, but clearly at the prize of
loosing all the possible speedup of the 6 cores. With all cores enabled I can see that every core is allocating its one memory, and there is definitely enough memory on my system. Could it be, that for some reason the memory gets mixed up among the six running jobs? Or am I doing something wrong? Best regards, Robert Zeller

This problem is fixed in digiKam-5.8.0. The thread support for libraw was not
activated, it only affects NEF files. See here: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/Batch-RAW-Conversion-to-jpg-leads-to-unusable-jpg-tiff-when-using-all-kernels-td4703791.html Maik Am Samstag, 23.

Digikam 5.7 and printing with Photoprint
|
|
In reply to this post by Gilles Caulier-4
I noticed that printing now is accomplished by using Photoprint rather
than the original tools. However this does not work for me. Photoprint is quite old and seems not to be actively supported although the website still exists. It looks like it works and seems to send data to my Canon iP7250 (over wireless) but nothing happens at the printer. Has anyone here actually printed successfully using Photoprint and if so how? Was the printer wireless or USB connected? I am using the latest available version of Photoprint. Sadly the QT paper size bug preventing successful use of printing seems to be being ignored by the QT developers. Stuart -- Website: http://www.stella-maris.org.uk or: http://www.broadstairs.org |

What do you mean by "photoprint" ? Where do you see any reference of photoprint in digiKam ? 2017-09-24 9:33 GMT+02:00 Stuart T Rogers <[hidden email]>: I noticed that printing now is accomplished by using Photoprint rather than the original tools.

My apologies I can see it in the right click menu on an image. Obviously
this is there because I have it installed. I had assumed, wrongly, it was there because the print function has been removed from digikam. One of my main uses of digikam is to print my photos and prior to it using QT this was what I always used for printing. Because of the QT bug it was not possible to use the printing facilities of digikam. Now I realise that the print function problems are not digikam's fault but it is so frustrating that QT are ignoring the paper size selection bug (QTBUG-58733), this has been open since February this year and nothing has been done by the QT devs. If the printing capabilities of QT are not fixed and the print options of digikam restored I will need to try to find another image management tool which allows me to both manage and print successfully which is a great shame since I do like its management capabilities. It is a huge shame that applications like digikam have to remove useful options because of a bug elsewhere. Stuart On 24/09/17 08:42, Gilles Caulier wrote: > What do you mean by "photoprint" ?

But we don't remove print feature at all... Print must be avaialble everywhere in 5.7.0 release. Look for ex in Tools menu, there is an entry named "Print Creator" that you can send data to print to Gimp engine to process work on printer device.

I have just looked at the Tools menu at the top of the screen in 5.7.0 and there is no Print Creator menu entry. Also cannot find it in any other menu either which is why I thought the print function ha been removed.

I just checked it again. The Tools Menue - Print Creator is available in

Firstly let me apologise for the printphoto thing again. I have removed the directory as describe and yes I can now find the Print Creator. Unless I am doing something wrong it does not work correctly for selecting the paper sizes exactly as before. I can it comes up with A$ which is the default but I am unable to change the value to 5x7 or many others as well. This is exactly the issue with QT. I do have gimp installed by the way.

Hum, yes, the print driver properties still relevant of low level Qt print plugin.
If the bug still in Qt, this will not fixed in DK... But did you try to select PDF as output (or Gimp), organize photo output, and generate it. Gimp output want mean PDF in background. this must be at least not dependent of Qt driver. In Gimp Qt print driver is not used. Perhaps the result will be better.

This Qt problem is really bad. It is not really a bug but rather a design
problem. Qt uses a fixed QPageSize list. This is based on Adobe PostScript PPD Standard v4.3. In this list is 5x7 not defined. Qt tries to break any other page size to this list or ignore the size.
