thumbnail generation

Martin (KDE)
Hallo

thumbnail regeneration in menu extra->maintainance is a little buggy
here (recent digikam 3.4 on fedora 19, 64bit). It allocates new memory
for every photo but never gives the memory back. If all memory (8G) and
swap (10G) are used, the OOM-process of the kernel kills digikam. Anyone
seeing this issue as well?

Regards
Martin

Hm

I tried it with another user on a different computer (same software) and
had no problem to generate the thumbnails. IS there something in the
setup that changes thumbnail behaviour?

Martin

Martin - just a thought or perhaps a suggestion.
I run digikam 3.4.0 on openSUSE 12.3 with KDE 4.11.1.

I have noticed that on occasion the digikam links into KDE get all
confused if an update (to KDE components) is run while digikam is open
or , for some, if I don't restart KDE. I typically logout my user and
log back in to get a KDE restart.

This sounds like a config mismatch, perhaps in your ~/.kde4 folder.

The most frequent suggestion on the openSUSE forum for situations like
this - create a new user account (and get a "clean ~/.kde4) and try it
as that new user. Relatively simple and does not damage your user profile.
The brute force approach is to rename your  ~/.kde4 as ~/.kde4_old and
restart KDE which will get you a new ~/.kde4.
That of course wipes a lot of customization you may have on your desktop

Good Luck

Sound like a packaging problem. Memory leak is not reproducible here.

Re: thumbnail generation

Some even more strange thing: If I run the update for a single album
there is no problem. But as soon as I started the maintainance
regeneration, stop it a few pictures later, the album regeneration of
thumbnails has the same problems as the maintainance one.

Still searching for the reason for this.

Re: thumbnail generation

In reply to this post by Martin (KDE)
Finally I removed my thumbs database (more than 1.2Gig big) and showd
all images in DK (took more than one hour to generate all the thumbs).
Point one: thumbs database shrunk to 500M and maintainance thumbs
regeneration is fast (almost all thumbs are already there) and no longer
leaks memory.

I still have no clue what the original problem was/is.
