The better way to check memory leak is to use valgrind tool like this :
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --error-limit=no digikam
note that digikam must be compiled using all debug information to get witch
source code line(s) are in default.
I had no PTP camera, only USB mass storage here to test.
When you run digikam under valgrind, the speed is very low ( divide per 15
approximativly), but speed performance is not the issue with valgrind because
it check all memory allocations/desallocations completed by the program.
Reproduce all action in digiKam using valgrind, all post all error console
messages provides by valgrind.
Thanks in advance.
