           Summary: Abort preview generation for .xcf files when it is no
                    longer required
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: simon.eu at gmail.com


Version:           1.0.0-rc (rev.: 1050601) (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian
packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-5.slh.4-sidux-686

I've got an .xcf file here, size about 130 MB. When I hit it in Album View it
takes perhaps half a minute to generate the preview image. Meanwhile I'm able
to change the selected image in the overview bar, but the image shown does not
change as long as the .xcf preview is being generated.

Now it would be nice if either the newly selected previews are being shown
nevertheless (perhaps abort the rendering process for the .xcf, if necessary)
or, even better, just do it faster. The same file opens in 3 seconds in GIMP,
so it shouldn't be impossible, I hope :)
