[Digikam-users] Redraw Problems

[Gilles Caulier]

For me, I cannot see any performance problem to use Thumbs database
instead freedesktop cache. I can say that it's a little bit faster.

But here, i manage local album only with max 250 items (RAW, PNG, and JPEG)

My lead computer (production is PIV3.4Ghz - 2Gb RAM - 520 GB Sata HDD)

When an empty album (My Album) was selected, there are no thumbs to blink.  strace is fairly quiet; it is polling for probably what is my Network Album that is unavailble.  Once I select an album with thumbnails, the blinking starts and I see a huge amount of activity from strace.  It appears that digikam is trying to write something to the same file handle it was checking before.
