           Summary: raw file open with action causes two instances
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: simon margo student utwente nl


Version:           0.9.3 (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

When I try to open a .ARW (sony raw) file in the gimp, for which I made a new entry in the file associations of KDE, I get the active instance of the gimp via gimp-remote (as configured) and a second instance of the gimp after a while (say 20s later). This is very annoying, because it consumes CPU and memory, thus slowing down whetever I'm doing, which is also CPU/mem intensive...

I don't know if my specific situation is causing this, but I'm willing to try suggestions if this cannot be explained by a bug...

Cheers

Simon
