           Summary: Digikam uses all memory with thumbnails
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: freanki at gmx.net


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I start Digikam it uses 200 MB of my memory. After some work it is over
400 mb. But I experienced some (nearly) crashes of my system with my harddrive
running and running, the system hardly reacting anymore. Always while Digikam
running. I found out that I let digikam show a tag with more than 10.000
pictures when this happens.
I could reproduces this while surfing through my albums and the memory
increasing all the time. 

I'm using Digikam 1.3 precompiled as written on
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/528 but I think I was having that bug before
too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a big album and watch your memory getting full. Watch some more until your
memory is full and your computer gets reaaaaally slow :)

Actual Results:  
Only a CTRL + ALT + DEL brings your system back...

Expected Results:  
It should only use a specific amount of memory. Not everything it gets ;)
