[Digikam-users] Digikam uses approx 90% of my CPU.

[C. Brouerius van Nidek]

Having had some problems with my Photo collection I asked around about a 
good photo program to sort out the disorganized bunch.
Digikam was the choice. Have now installed the version 2.4.1 and am 
planning to start using it.

After start-up of DigiKam there is some "scanning collection" done. The 
progress bar never exceeds the 6%. Sometimes 0, 1 or 2%. Working through 
the handbook but have not come up with the progress bar.
Thumbnails are shown as empty squares. Normal size pictures are possible.

Biggest problem though is the CPU use. The complete info is:

Process status: sleeping. Process waiting for something to happen.
User CPU usage 89%
System CPU usage 0%
Number of treads 7

When I quit Digikam, the program is still there waiting although the 
desktop is empty. I have to kill digikan in order to get my CPU usage 
back to normal.
What could cause this behavior.
