[Digikam-users] digikam 1.2.0 slows down

[Dr. Martin Senftleben]

Hi,

I'm using 1.2.0 as it is the currently available version for LinuxMint. 
Desktop is Gnome. DigiKam is a marvellous tool! However, I have 
performance problems. Back from vacation, I have to work my way through 
about 15.000 pictures. Initially they are all in one folder, so I can 
separate the good from the bad ones.
I give tags, comments, evaluate the images, crop and rotate a few and 
then move them to their respective places = other folders. I use, as is 
obvious, also the editor.
After having gone through about 100 images in this manner, I find that 
digikam slows down quite a bit, up to the point that I have to wait for 
a minute for changes to apply to the image I'm just working on. After a 
restart, everything is fine again, changes are applied instantaneously.
Is there a way to bypass the need to restart digikam? Is this a known 
problem that has been solved in 1.3?

Thanks!

Martin
