[digikam] [Bug 315271] New: WISH: system-check (libraries, space, limitations)

            Bug ID: 315271
           Summary: WISH: system-check (libraries, space, limitations)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

I'd like to have an automated system-check _before_ starting up digiKam.

This check should take place in backround, as for example at startup, and/or on
request.

This check  must be able to identify bottlenecks of the systems support, and,
therefore, be able to supply recommendations or at least informations to enable
the user to react on specific corrections.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
digiKam does not indicate hardware oe software limitations.

Did you have any particular "limitations" in mind?

Besides freespace(1) , I can't think of anything

(1) which I'd argue is out-of-scope for anything digikam-specific.  if you're
out-of-space, all bets are off anyway, not much of anything will work reliably.

My intention is, to level didiKam to even more on a proffessional stage.
In this context,  waste of time, reliability and avoiding of inefficient
proceedings is crucial.

OK, you are right, one needs to clarify, what is really "crucial".

"Space" is an issue: if you do panoramas, you'll need lot of space
intermediately. Why not show a warning, _before_ you waste time? I
guess, it is possible, to derive a rule of thumb for estimate the needed
space ("number x pic size  x safety factor", e.g.).

Even when servicing your pics database, you need some more space for
temp files than under regular working conditions. Why not warn, before
loosing time or experiencing crashing progs?

"Limitations": I am thinking of progs which check availability of
libraries on demand (K3B, e.g.). If installed, the prog itself more
features than "standard" installation with restricted abilities.

"Limitations" in another sense, too: I'd like to have all pics in
statistic, and I'd like to distingish between the ones digiKam can open
and the ones, which digiKam can NOT open ("broken ones"?.

Background: I have some hundreds of NEF, digiKam can not open at all

It would be most helpful to search and find for those, as one might have
backups, could be able to reapit questioned files etc.
