why is import/transport so much slower than transform anlone?

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Hello,

I thoght I was a very bright boy, when I started to import 210 jpg's from a
local folder into digikam album and at the same time transform them to png.
But after 60 images I stopped - it took 40 minutes so far...

I imported the remaining jpgs without transforming (took some seconds) and
started a digikam batch job to transform the rest (153 images) to png. That
took 12 minutes.

Why is there such a big difference? Did I miss something in the settings?
Don't the batch job and the imprt tool use the same program for the transform
from jpg to png?

Would be nice to do this transformation right with the import, would save some
clicks, but of course only, if it worked about the same as the other...

Any ideas?

kind regards

Daniel

no idea. i use png conversion all the time without any problem  sound
like a memory leak.

as i work hard currently on camera interface, i will check it. but
future improvements will be available for 2.1. there are a huge list
of cource code commits to push just after 2.0.

can you hear me which camera driver you use exactly ? which version of
all shared libs too ?

Hello Gilles!

I am not importing from the camera, but from a local folder. I always copy CR2
directly with a card reader, then do the raw conversion in vbox/winXP using
Canon software (shhh: don't tell anybody :-) . For web use I transform to jgp.

These jpg's I import into digikam, and that's where the "problem" occured.

I had the same already a time ago, but I was not sure, because I stopped the
process quickly when I saw how slow it was. Just today I tried again, and as I
was cooking I let it run those 40 mins...

I use digikam Version 1.9.0, KDE 4.6.2 (4.6.2) "release 3", OpenSuse 11.3.
Installed from opensuse rpms.
If you need more details, tell me how to obtain them...

However, it is not important and I don't want to stress you. I can just import
"normal" and then convert... and if you have the time later (and remember) I
give you the details you need, ok?

While I'm writing you, I use the ocasion to once again say thanks for that
great application which I use all the time!

regards

Daniel
