Summary: Digikam uses all free memory and gets terminated
Product: digikam
Version: 4.2.0
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee:

After a long time in which I've been unable to use Digikam due to an unrelated
crash in phonon library, I finally managed to get it to install and run today.
I get the splash screen, then the main window. The main window shows a
progress bar (apparently for scanning my albums) which completes in about 26
seconds and I get a "no active process" message. However, at the same time
(i.e. right afer the main window is shown) Digikam starts using all available
CPU resources (400%) and locking memory at a very high rate, until it gets to
70-80% of system memory, then I have a few minutes of swapping in which the
system is unusable, and finally memory is fully exhausted and the system
terminates Digikam. It does not matter if I close the main window after it
starts to use CPU and memory, the digikam process would not disappear and
continues to use resources until it gets terminated. I don't know what is
being done behind the scenes (as far as I can tell Digikam doesn't generate a
log file) but in the past I've been able to use Digikam (up to 3.4.0 I believe)
with the same image collection. The issue exists in 4.2.0 and I've also tried
4.1.0 and 3.5.0 with the same result.
