<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>Can you send me some file that causes a crash so I can try to see what the problem is with that/them? Generally we should only handle image files and extra stuff under image root should not cause problems. But as you discovered, we do still have bugs...</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.

I did rebuild my index.xml which took nearly a day.</div>

<div>For me KPA works faster than the previous version. However, when you first start using 4.4 generating thumbnails will take quite a long time. And until the thumbnails are generated it is very slow - unusable.</div>

<div>You should still be able to open the old index.xml (if you did not loose it completely). KPA supports command line option -c that takes the index file as parameter and should allow you to open it up. However, the file name must be index.xml, differently named file is "sanitized" to index.xml.</div>

<div>Yes, I still have it as index.xml.old. What happened is that I deleted a file .DS_Store in the root directory of my images tree. Afaik this file is created when the share is accessed by a Mac and of no use at all. But after the removal of this file KPA startet crashing again with segmentation fault immediately after start of the program: </div>

<p>This is why I renamed index.xml to index.xml.old so that KPA had to create a new index. With this new index file it is no longer crashing. Just extremely slow. When I rename the old file to index.xml the crash occurs again.<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier; font-size: xx-small;"><!--EndFragment--></span></p>

<div>Whatever you do, take backup of the index.xml first.<br /><br /></div>
<div>There is a new "ball" at the bottom of KPA now. Hovering on top of it should show active and pending jobs and clicking it gives you a run queue that shows if and what is happening on the back ground.
