[digiKam-users] Much slower dk 6b2

[digikam-2]

DK 6b2 appimage: 30-Oct

I did a backup of my 5.9 dbs and converted to 6b2 appimage (dated:
30-Oct). It's nicer but it's much slower, especially the searches.

digikam version 6.0.0-beta2
Images:
GIF: 4
JPG: 859
PNG: 16
PSD: 45
RAW-CR2: 29902
RAW-DNG: 8443
RAW-PEF: 1764
RAW-RAF: 5641
TIFF: 302
XCF: 5
total: 46981
:
Total Items: 46981
Albums: 296
Tags: 138
:
Database backend: QSQLITE
Database Path: /drive-b/photos/

A search of photos:
* 7 tags (in one of)
* and not 1 tag

in 6b2: 2 minutes 36 seconds
in 5.9: 55 or 56 seconds (timed by hand)

How can speed it up? or is it some debug code?

Thanks

The 55 seconds are already too long. And digiKam-6.0.0-beta2 has become
faster. With your collection size I would expect 2-5 seconds. How many images
does the search return?

Around 12000 images.

And the drive with the images collection and database is located on a local,
USB or network drive?

Out of curiosity, I decided to measure the loading time of my Digikam (6.0b2)
database (SQLite). Both the pictures (around 96383) and the database are
stored in a network drive. The network drive is accessed via Wifi
(802.11ac). The maximum transfer speed I get is around 3-4MB/s (I know...).

So:

0s  Click on Digikam's icon.
43s The splash screen appears.
2m52s The main interface loads.
6m46s Digikam finishes scanning for new items (there were no new items).


Total 6 minutes and 46 seconds from launching the program until it's usable.
At that point, it's fully responsible and can be used with normality. I
couldn't say if it's faster or slower than 5.9, though.

Hi,

From DK Setup/Miscs panel, did you enable the option "scan for new item at startup" ?

Best

2 internal drives: WD 3tb blue each:

Here's the relevant part:

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2       123G   33G   84G  28% /
/dev/sdb1       2.7T  1.7T  931G  65% /drive-b
/dev/sda1       488M   53M  400M  12% /boot
/dev/sda3       2.6T  923G  1.6T  38% /home

Both the photos and the SQLITE db are on /drive-b/ ==> /dev/sdb1
