<br>
<br>Download the "DebugView" program from Microsoft. This is what i mean.
<br>
<br>Run it before digiKam to catch debug traces from the application. It's
<br>explained on the "contribute" page from the project, in the "Freezes
<br>and Other Run-Time Issues/Windows" section...

<br>> Hi, Gilles,
<br>>
<br>> I hope I have done this correctly.
<br>>
<br>> I have downloaded & installed the debug version of DigiKam 7.90 & done the same with DebugView.
<br>>
<br>> It doesn't seem to matter what operation I request. In this case it was just to assign a color label to an image. It is a .tif scan of a drawing. The progress bar stays at 0% & I have to force close DigiKam.
<br>>
<br>> Let me know what else I need to do.
<br>>
<br>> The log file just confuses me.
<br>>
<br>> Thank you, Gilles
<br>>
<br>> Nadine H

<br>> Hi,
<br>>
<br>> It sounds like the metadata writing pipeline is locked somewhere.
<br>> Which kind of files do you want to tag exactly ?
<br>>
<br>> Also, we need to see the debug traces done in background while tag
<br>> operation. download Microsoft DebugView program, and run it before the
<br>> digiKam session. See here for details :
