[digikam] [Bug 366234] New: Import from card readers starts automatically when digikam is started

[bugzilla_noreply]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366234

            Bug ID: 366234
           Summary: Import from card readers starts automatically when
                    digikam is started
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import-Config
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

When starting the digikam application attempts to import from my card readers
several times. Since I usually don't have cards inserted in all four slots (in
fact I hardly have any card inserted) digikam presents me error popups ("please
insert media in drive x"). That's two popups per drive before the splash screen
is shown and another one per drive after.
In total I have to click away 12 popups. The behaviour is the same whatever
option I select (Cancel, Retry, Continue). This is really annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start digikam
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
digikam is supposed to search for new items in the collections that I have set
up. That works fine. But I don't expect digikam to consider in any other
location without being explicitly told to.

It wasn't like that during the first days after installation, it appeared only
yesterday, although I didn't change the installation. Therefore I suspect a
settings problem. But I didn't change any settings recently and I didn't find
any setting that controls the startup behaviour.
But I used the Batch Queue Manager yesterday for the first time. Maybe this
triggered the problems.

There is no relation between BQM and Import tool.

The problem is not reproducible here with Windows 7 32 or 64 bits. Installation
is in place since few weeks and is used to test the application.

What do you see in DebugView when digiKam is started ?

attached a few log files.

BTW: My PC runs on Windows 10 64-bit. Digikam 5.0.0 was installed on 20/07/2016
(5.0.0-2) via http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/

"D:/Eigene Dateien/Eigene Bilder/fotos" where you store database files and
collection of photo is a removable media ?

Do you have any Antivirus software working in background around D: ?

Yes. There is antivirus and also a backup job runs in the background. Probably
you need to remove their debug messages.

The complete log was made first. Then I closed digikam and restarted, creating
the two other log files. So I guess you can safely assume that only those
events that appear in all logs are relevant.

BTW: I tried with one card inserted. The behaviour is similar except that I
don't get the popup for the drive holding the card.

BTW2: Whenever I push the Import button in digikam (or I select any specific
card reader in Menu-->Import-->Card Reader, even if I select the inserted card)
digikam would present me the same series of popups.

I suspect that the removable media D:/ is the problem here.

I suspect that KDE Solid framework do not work under Windows. Removable media
UUID is provided by Solid and is registered in database

Can you try 2 workaround in a new account :

1/ store database files somewhere in C:/ and use removable media to store
collections.

2/ store all somewhere in C:/ (databases and collections).

For both, look if the problem is reproducible.

What do you mean with "removable media D:\". This is the second partition of my
hdd. I can't move data to C: because the first partition is just large enough
to hold the OS and the applications. I have >200GB of images which I'm not
going to move anywhere else.

I'll wait until the backup is done (probably not before tomorrow
afternoon/evening). Then I will reboot the machine, deactivate anti-virus, and
start digikam before any other application was started. Let's see if the
problem still appears then. If yes, we would at least have a clean debug log.

Ah so D:/ is not a removable disk as i suspected.... Ok.

How D:/ is formatted ? NTFS ? FAT ?

After restarting the computer this phenomenon doesn't appear. Severity
decreased to "minor". I would like to do some additional tests (e.g. what
happens if a memory card was inserted, then ejected, then digikam). But I'll
run them end of August when I'm not so busy. I hope we can keep this defect
open until then.

With 5.00 and 5.10 I've experienced this same problem.

It does not go away after a reboot.

Win 7 64 bit.

Thanks for the feedback.

Typically, there is no interaction with memory card device under Windows, as
KDE::Solid API dedicated for that as under Linux do not work under Windows.

We plan to add separated code to handle USB device notifications.

Other problem is to test here under windows : there is no real computer with
Windows, only a virtual machine. So the results can be different.

The end of the trace is very very strange... Typically we see only these
message (and limited ones) at end of digiKam session, not at startup...

Twilight,

I think you will have more trace with debugview tool, especially from operating
system.

Log using debug view

Line 22 is where the trace was when the first error box appeared.  

Also I screwed up on previous post, I meant  debugview but wrote wintrace.  :-P
