[Digikam-users] Redraw Problems

[Andi Clemens]

digiKam only works with a lot of images, when using just a few it flickers, to 
warn you :-)
No just kidding.

This is weird, I never experienced flickering here and I would always guess it 
is a graphics card and Qt4 problem, not a digiKam problem.

But as long as we can not reproduce it, it's not possible to make correct 
guesses.

I don't know if it would help but we have a helper script to cleanup the 
digiKam db, it is located in /usr/bin/cleanup_digikamdb. Maybe this can solve 
some problems, too?
