<br>
I did Extras > Management… (Extras > Wartung… in German) in my digikam<br>
4.9 installation from the ppa. And then I did a database sync from the<br>
files to the database.<br>
<br>
It takes hours (after 4h it currently reached 14%) and it shows a high<br>
disk write rate: 14MB/s. Why does it write so much and where? The<br>
database size does not change much (in those 4 hours it has grown by<br>
1MB) and the image files do not seem to be touched (as expected when<br>
doing a sync files->database). If it just changes the database contents<br>
with 14MB/s, couldn't it do that in memory and then dump the result into<br>
the file only once?<br>
<br>
So where does it write to with 14MB/s?<br>
<br>
Thanks for clarification,<br>
Joram<br>
