[digiKam-users] Search issues

[Rafael Linux]

Tested in Digikam 6.2.0 (from OpenSUSE repos and AppImage)

Just as you can see in video (https://fromsmash.com/fMDYGGuBbk-c0), if I go
to "Search" tab, even without nothing written to search, appears thumbnails
of results. That should not be, IMHO, the behaviour when I'm not writing
nothing at all. That's a madness with hundreds of images and even with
"Begin search automatically" disabled!!!

Anyway, there is one more strange behaviour. After ten or more seconds, when
the "ghost" search ends, if I move mouse pointer over thumbnails, strange
things occurs (see attached video to know what I'm talking about).

Thank you

me too, but I have saved search. Images appears instantly (more than
70.000 in collection), obviously thumbnails stored. If the image do not
exist anymore, nothing happen when I clic on the thumb

The last search is called when the search tab is selected is intended. Yes, it
can take a while for a search result with many images, especially when using
an external MySQL server. We're working on finding more bottlenecks and
speeding it up in each version. I have never seen the refresh problem of
thumbnails and frames. Which graphics card / driver do you use?

Hi Maik. As I wrote in an older post, you did an incredible improvement on
database performance from 5.9 to 6.0 version. I did report it took near
7minutes to DK 5.9 to be ready with a +300k photos using internal mysql
database, and now it takes less than 1 minute. It's a *great* improvement.
The question with this search issue is that I begin the search with an
*empty* (no search fields are filled) form with the option "Begin search
automatically" *disabled*. So, there are NO parameters to begin a search and
moreover I don't press "Search" button to begin the search, so DK should not
search and therefore DK should not show any thumbnail, as it does. As you
can see in the video, I even click in the "reset" button of the advanced
search to empty any field.

About the strange behavior when moving the mouse over the thumbnails, it
only happens in the thumbnails showd in the search tab, not when showing
albums thumbnails. The GPU is an intel HD graphic card with the OpenSUSE
official drivers. I have not this issue with other applications on my KDE
desktop. It seems the thumbnails are "one over other", stacked or something
similar, and when the mouse pointer is just over they, they are showed.
