            Bug ID: 352921
           Summary: Crash (or lock-up) while applying geotags to images
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.13.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Geolocation
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: gburca-kde at ebixio.com

Virtually impossible to geo-tag images without a crash or a lock-up. The
progress bar either freezes, and the application stops responding, or the app
just crashes. When the app freezes, sometimes the geotagging actually finishes
(all the pictures are geotagged, even though the progress bar would indicate
only 40% completion for example). I noticed that the chances of a crash or
freeze is reduced if only a few pictures at a time are geotagged (10 or so),
and if the mouse is not moved (i.e. no movement of the scroll wheel, or
movement that would cause other parts of the window to gain focus - I have
focus-follows-mouse).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select about 100 JPG pictures (5-10Mb each).
2. Image -> Geo-location
3. Load a GPX file and "Correlate", or manually drop the pictures on various
locations of the map.
4. Press "Apply"

Actual Results:  
95% of the time the app either crashes, or the progress bar (in the Geolocation
window as well as the main app window) stops moving and the app locks up.

Expected Results:  
No crash, no lock-up, progress bar reaches 100% and all the selected images are
geotagged.
