           Summary: communication between digikam and its kioslaves broken
                    if size_t != off_t
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: NetBSD pkgsrc
        OS/Version: NetBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mark mcs vuw ac nz


Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    NetBSD pkgsrc
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 
OS:                NetBSD

On systems where  size_t != off_t communication between digikam and its kioslaves (eg digikamsearch) breaks because the kioslaves try to pass a different sized object from what digikam expects.

Specifically they pass stbuf.st_size which is of type off_t while digikam is expecting a size_t object at that point.  My fix is to change digikam to expect an off_t (I'll attach a patch shortly), alternatively you could cast all the st_size's to size_t but that seems ugly.

This appears to still be a problem with 0.8.2-rc1.
