AGAIN!! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">After finally seeing my thumbnails (with no idea why it had finally happened) I thought that the problem miraculously solved itself. However, the thumbnails have once again disappeared. I’ve done nothing differently this time compared to the last when the thumbnails decided to grace me with their presence. In addition to the thumbnails being absent, none of the kipi plug-ins are available now (they were, the last time that the thumbnails were visible). These are extremely frustrating experiences! What can be done to solve this?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If somebody suggests “debugging”, please bear in mind that I’m a photographer, not a console-junkie. Apparently, I’m not the only one suffering from this. I’m sure that we’ll all appreciate the assistance.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 31 Aug 2015, at 21:03, Phil <<a href="mailto:philtuckey@free.fr" class="">philtuckey@free.fr</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">I am having a similar experience with 4.12 on Yosemite. Sometimes the thumbnails are displayed correctly and sometimes not at all, i.e. digikam thinks there are no images in any album. Sometimes it works ok when started by clicking on the alias in Applications and sometimes it works ok when running it from a terminal/shell. I don't think it has anything to do with a problem with the databases, at least not one that requires completely rebuilding them.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">On 31/08/2015 15:09, J Albrecht wrote:</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><blockquote type="cite" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On 31 Aug 2015, at 14:02, Gilles Caulier <<a href="mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com" class="">caulier.gilles@gmail.com</a><br class=""><<a href="mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com" class="">mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com</a>>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Start digiKam from a console, following instructions at "For hangs out<br class="">or dysfunctions" section :<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://www.digikam.org/contrib" class="">https://www.digikam.org/contrib</a><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""><br class="">Merci again.<br class=""><br class="">Although the link provides no helpful “concise” directions on how to run<br class="">the tool with the appropriate debug space for simple users such as<br class="">myself (developers, please take note), I now have my thumbnails back.<br class="">But, I’ve no idea why.<br class=""><br class="">All I had done differently was activate (double click) the app from<br class="">within /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/ rather than from cmd ><br class="">Spacebar (Spotlight Search) as usual.
