It can take several minutes to generate thumbnails for a category just a few dozen images; sometimes Digikam just seems to hang with only a few thumbnails visible.</div><div><br></div><div>By contrast, in “Albums” view the thumbnails are very fast, generating almost as quickly as I can scroll down. No issues there, but when I switch to Tags view the thumbnail generation slows to a crawl again. </div><div><br></div><div>Issue is unaffected by magnification setting. I have refreshed the database (update path function) and rebuilt the thumbnails, but the issue persists. I do not use the face recognition feature or auto tags.</div><div><br></div><div>Using digikam 8.3.0, macOS Sonoma v14.5.
