           Summary: Digikam hangs for around 20-60 seconds when starting
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: aironmail at gmail.com


Version:           0.10.0-beta4 svn (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

This is something that I've never noticed with older digikam series (0.9.x,
0.8.x, ...).

Since I started to use the 0.10.x from svn, I'm experimenting a very large
starting time for digikam.

If I start the application from konsole, almost instantly, I get the
splashscreen.

It goes up to "Scanning images in individual albums", and it hangs there for
around 20-60 seconds, it depends on the day, and if I have run the application
previosly (probably libraries cached on memory).

What I've noticed, is that the first log messages that appear in the konsole
after digikam continues starting normally are these:

setting xine verbosity to 0
Uing Xine version 1.1.15
isEmpty
outputPlugin:    alsa
outputPlugin:    oss
outputPlugin:    arts
outputPlugin:    esd
outputPlugin:    file
outputPlugin:    none
10001 "Esound (ESD)"  "esd"
10000 "aRts"  "arts"
Phonon::Xine::Backend(0x83e3728)  2
xcb_connect 0x868b558
...

So, apparently, it's like if it hangs while it gets access to the output plugin
for sound. Maybe it is not related or mayby it is, because digikam continues
loading exactly when it prints those messages.

My image collection can be around 7 to 8k images, but it's more or less of the
same size than the last time that I used the 0.9.x series.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Antonio E.
