[Digikam-users] Import speed, is it really that slow?

[buedi]

I  did  some more testing and it seems like the hiccups / freezes have
something  to do with kioslave.exe. I cannot prove it because I do not
know if there are any Logfiles. I don´t know if filing a Bug report is
OK  with the lack of information I have. Maybe someone can point me to
the  right  direction,  so  I  can  provide  a Developer the necessary
Information  to  look  at that? It would be a shame if someone puts so
much  effort into a Windows Version of digiKam and nobody is caring if
it´s  working or not. I do, because I think it´s a remarkable piece of
Software.

It also seems like I have no hiccups / freezes when I do not touch the
Import   function.  If  I  only  work  with  other  digiKam  functions
(Lighttable,  tagging, searching...) yesterday I had no freeze at all.
As  soon  as  I  touch  the  Import function it starts to freeze after
importing  3-5  pictures and the Import process takes ages. Also after
the Import Process, digiKam freezes again and again until I close it
properly and open it again.

Yesterday  once the kioslave.exe caused an exception while digiKam was
freezing  again.  Having  a  look at the Taskmanager revealed around 5
kioslave.exe  processes. On my XP System when I do the Import it opens
around  10-14  of  these  processes. Maybe there´s a problem with that
process  and  not  digiKam  itself.  DigiKam  may  be  waiting for the
kioslave.exe to be finished maybe?
