<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>Unfortunatly, it's difficult to verify where the code crash under Windows using 5.9.0 release. There is no crash handler with this release under Windows.<div><br></div><div>This have been improved with next 6.0.0, which still in beta stage for the moment. The DrMinGW crash handler have been add an now, we can see a crash backtrace as well without to use an extra software to debug. It's easy to see where the dysfunction appear in source code.</div><div><br></div><div>So, i recommend to test with the last DK 6.0.0-beta3 installer available here :</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://files.kde.org/digikam/">https://files.kde.org/digikam/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Note that 6.0.0 introduce changes in database schema which will make the tables not compatible with 5.9.0 later. So please make a database backup before to try 6.0.0.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Gilles Caulier</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Le dim. 16 déc. 2018 à 07:10, papertape <<a href="mailto:plowmail2010@gmail.com">plowmail2010@gmail.com</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit<br>
DigiKam 5.9.0<br>
Desktop computer<br>
<br>
So far, I have used DigiKam only to enter Captions on TIFF files. DigiKam<br>
occasionally crashes. Once, it crashed when I clicked on the Rotate overlay<br>
in the expanded display produced by double-clicking on a thumbnail. Oddly,<br>
my computer becomes catatonic.<br>
<br>
I copy text into the clipboard from a list of Captions in an editor (emacs),<br>
and then click the right mouse button in DigiKam's Caption field in the<br>
right-hand column. Sometime during the cycle, the machine freezes. The<br>
mouse pointer moves OK, but clicks have no effect. CTL-ALT-DEL has no<br>
effect. To get the machine going, I have to cycle power.<br>
<br>
This has happened a half-dozen times, scattered over about a dozen hours of<br>
running. Twice, the file for the last image I was working on before the<br>
crash was filled with zeros.<br>
<br>
My album has only 600 images, and Task Manager shows memory consumption sits<br>
around 2.6 GB (out of 6 GB). CPU hardly ever rises above 5%. Lazy synch is<br>
off.<br>
<br>
I ran chkdsk and HDSentinal's read test diagnostics on the machine's<br>
internal disk and on the USB external disk that holds the image files. I<br>
ran Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool and memtest86. No diagnostic<br>
complained.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else seen anything like this?<br>
<br>
(Many thanks to everyone who has replied to my other questions!)<br>
