[Digikam-users] Digikam memory usage

OK.

I also suspect there is something wrong on Fedora with Digikam. There is
also a problem with MySQL (Digikam cannot create tables in the DB... I
had to create the DB by using Digikam in a virtual machine with Ubuntu,
export the DB and import it in my installation of MySQL). I opened a bug
on the Fedora bug tracking system (as it seems a distribution-related
problem) for that, but I had no replies so far.
In any case, I had the same problems when using SQLite (and this is one
of the reasons why I tried to move to MySQL).

I import only JPEG images, no RAW and no TIFF.

Best regards,
