[Digikam-users] TIFF-File Problems (still)

[Olaf Gellert]

Hi,

in the last days I upgraded my OS to SuSE-Linux 10.0.
And right now I compiled digikam 0.8. On the first
start of digikam I get some output like this:


########################################################
> > digikam
digikam: No locale found in database
digikam: Locale found in configfile
digikam: Successfully upgraded database to sqlite3

All Tests: A-OK

digikam: ScanLib: Finding items not in the database or disk: 837296 ms
digikam: ScanLib: Updating items without date: 3398 ms

So I guess digicam is working. But:

Still only blank thumbnails are created from my TIFF-
files (JPEG works fine).

Additionally there seem to be problems with MSDOS (vfat)
file systems. I do have all my albums on an vfat partition.
Digikam displays some shortened directory-names (though
it does not display any images contained in them). The full
names of the directories are displayed, too (and these
work fine). This did not happen with digikam 0.7.4 and earlier.

Have a look at the screenshot at:

where you can see both problems...

Cheers, Olaf
