Hi,

I have to do a lot of image processing / managing at work and decided to start 
digiKam (of course :-)), although we are a "Windows" company. Anyway, at the 
moment I do all the work on my laptop and recognized a lot of errors in 
digiKam:

1. It crashes on every third or so edit
2. Thumbnails in iconview are not updated anymore (I crop and label images 
with the editor, but still see the old thumbs in the IE and AlbumUI). F5 
doesn't refresh them, only rebuilding the complete thumbsDB helps
3. Moving tags around erases "tag count numbers", you know the numbers beside 
the tag name in TagFolderView
4. Sometimes AdvancedSearch doesn't open, digiKam starts eaten up a lot of CPU 
and crashes
5. Most input widgets behave strange (Qt4.6 or KDE 4.4 related?)
For example I enter text in a combobox, the text "jumps around" and often even 
erases what I just typed in

Maybe this is all related to KDE4.4 and Qt4.6, but still I wonder what makes 
digiKam so unstable at the moment?
I am not able to follow the digikam mails at the moment, so maybe I missed 
something? Have we already moved to MySQL or something like that?

Is it due to the modelview port?

Anyone expierences these errors, too?

Andi
