[Digikam-users] digikam 1.2.0 slows down

[Stedtlund]

Hi,

I might have a similar problem with digiKam 1.3.0 in openSUSE 11.3. I
can see that digiKam takes a lot of ram, over 60% according to top,
after some slideshows. I haven't moved images, just selected images
for different slideshows.

The whole system gets sluggish.

Restart of digiKam is needed. One process takes a lot of time before finishing.
