[Digikam-users] A couple of questions

[Mark Ovens]

Hi,

Am I correct in thinking that digikam has to get the thumbnails from the 
image file every time it displays them?

Konqueror caches thumbnails that it creates in ~/.thumbnails, could 
digikam not do the same (perhaps as an option)? Digikam seems to be 
getting slower - most noticeably when using the My Dates sidebar. I'm 
sure that the SQL query to find matching dates is not slow. Is the 
performance affected by the size of the image files?

Incidentally, in ~/.thumbnails I have a file, ~800kB, called 
digikam-thumbnails.db but it is over 18 months old. Was this created by 
an earlier version of dk?

One minor niggle. The slide control in the status bar for zooming 
thumbnails increases the thumbnail size when you scroll _down_ with the 
mouse wheel. This seems illogical to me - down implies smaller and up 
bigger. Is this a bug, or by design?

Thanks

Regards,

Mark
