Description

main screen of digicam 4.10.0 on openSUSE 13.2 freezes when going from picture to picture and name faces, sometimes very soon soon, sometimes it takes a while

what I have done:

1. start digikam
2. open an album
3. open a picture and name one of the faces
4. switch to next picture and name a face
5. ... n. same like 4.

main window of digikam freezes and only possibility is to end digikam by clicking upper right x to quit. After this it takes a while than window pops up to ask if I want to end process of digikam

here it happens always, it does not depend n a special picture

Have you reported this to the digikam team?

yes, I was sent to here to report this behaviour.

I test it on second PC with only a few pictures and I get same problem when moving rectangle around the face to centre on the face. Every time than I get:

digikam(6311)/KEXIV2: Cannot remove Xmp tag using Exiv2 (Error # 35 : No namespace info avaible for XMP prefix 'acdsee'
digikam(6311)/KEXIV2: Cannot set Xmp tag string into image using Exiv2 (Error # 35 : No namespace info avaible for XMP prefix 'acdsee'

I don't use AcdSEE and have never used.

Can you double check that none of the images have ACDSee metadata in them? You can do this from the command line in the folder with the images.

exiv2 -g acdsee *.jpg

If they do turn out to have ACDSee properties, could you test on a folder of images that don't have that metadata.

sorry, may be I have not understand you correctly:

~/Ser-04/bilder/bilder/Fabritzius/SW/001_1501231641> exiv2 -g acdsee *.jpg
If 'exiv2' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf exiv2

how do I get to use exiv2 from command line?

You need to install exiv2 on your system. In the digikam report you mention that you are using suse. If I recall correctly, you can use yast to install exiv2.

what I see now ist: some of my pictures names are beginning with ---_ can this be a problem? when I tried to examine folders like this I get some strange output of exiv2 like

So what happens if you run digikam on a folder of images without the filenames begining in "--"? In other words, if all the images have names beginning with a letter or a number, no other characters.

nothing, as you can see under #8

as you can see in the file list too, first I erased the trailing --_ so only the numbers 01149 to 01161 are in this folder.

last comment was only because I realized that exiv2 seems to use the trailing minus-signs as part of an option ( -- _ -0 -1 -1 ... -j is unknown and for p there is the g unknown -> -_011....jpg)

After this I choose in digikam only one single folder with no other filename as numbers but same result

I still think there is a problem with digikam itself because this problem discovers always with face recognition / some changes on faces. (like the rectangle)

I'm sorry I can't give some output of gdb, but here on my opensuse it does not work, also KDE crash handler is not able to give more information (most often digikam dies silently after Error #35 of exiv2)

here I can give a debug output with gdb. I have only one folder with 6 pictures in it. Only thing I have done was to name one single face in faces:unknown

hope this helps

Maik of digikam suggests checking and updating the version of libkexiv2 on your system. I'm not sure how to do that on openSuse though.

It look like Exiv2 debug symbols are not installed. So it's impossible to see exactly where in Exiv2 code the problem appears.

I recommend :
  • to install Exiv2 debug package and try to get a better GDB backtrace.
  • to catch exception directly in GDB before to run digiKam, as explained at https://www.digikam.org/contrib

I suspect that Adobe XMP SDK generate an exception which is not catch by Exiv2 code.

This report from last year is typical of reports involving digikam. The root cause was out-of-sync exiv2 library versions on the affected system.

Solution was to remove all old exiv2 library versions on the affected system and update to version 0.25 of libexiv2.
