[Digikam-users] Digikam memory usage

[Alberto Ferrante]

Gilles,
I do not think I will be able to do that soon, it takes time and I do
not have much at the moment. We anyway know already why it crashes: it
fills up all the available memory (8GB of RAM +14 of swap) and it gets
terminated. I monitored memory usage and this is what happens.
I can tell that the memory use increases with the number of images. It
is "acceptable" below 1-2'000 images; it becomes unacceptable above that
threshold.

If you can, please try importing a folder with, say, 10'000 images...
Are you able? How much memory is it using after the folder scan phase?

Regards,
	Alberto
