<p>I have about 30000 images and with an earlier version of kphotoalbum I could use the application but 4.4 crashes every time after a while during the generation of the preview images. Last time it happened when 26% was done.</p>

<div>To me it looks like the crash occurs at raw decoding (kdcraw is a library we use for that and seems to be the culprit). However, if that is the case the upgrade from older version of KPA to 4.4 should not start crashing (or actually the older version should crash the same). Of course the trouble could also be how we use the library...</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">Indeed, I found some files in a subfolder (none image files with misc. extensions) which had been there for years without causing issues. After deleting those files KPA no longer abended. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">But then KPA was very slow. Especially opening the detail window from a thumbnail did take for ever. I tried to solve this by reextracting the exif information. Didn't help. After a while KPA did crash again with my data file with segmentation fault. I noticed that the demo database did work so I concluded that it must have something to do with my index.xml. I did rebuild my index.xml which took nearly a day.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Now KPA is running again but still unusably slow. And all my categorizations / tags are in the old file which I can't open any more. :-(</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">I still have some none image files in subfolders (e.g. html, css from html slideshows) and also some raw files which may be not well supported (xf3). I will try to clean this up to see if this solves my issues.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Do you have any other suggestions? O<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">lder versions of KPA did work fine... Should I try going back to 4.3?</span></div>

<div>The provided back trace does not reveal what causes the crash, at least I do not see any clear indication. If it is a specific image a sample would be good to have to debug the issue. Are you able to compile KPA yourself so that some debug code can be included e.g. to print the image names that are being processed?<br /><br /><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5115696/kpa/compiling-git-kpa.html">http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5115696/kpa/compiling-git-kpa.html</a><br /><br /></div>
<div>The compile instructions should be slightly modified to provide debug information:<br /> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=relwithdebuginfo<br /><br />and the printing of file names that are processed should also be added. (I can send you a patch for that if you are able to do some debugging on this.)</div>

<div>At the moment I have no time to compile KPA myself but I will keep the instructions... </div>
