[Digikam-users] DigiKam Lockup

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

You have set the option to "write metadata to pictures"?
I have this problem quite often when I work on several pictures at a time.

> Several times recently I have experienced DigiKam locking up my whole
> system.  I cannot identify a specific action, it seems to be fairly random

> running system monitor before I start DigiKam.
>
> What I see is that when I start using DigiKam the processor and memory
> usage is fairly low but when the problem occurs it is using almost all of
> the memory (16 Gb) and half of the swap space (32 Gb).  The mouse movement
> is very jerky, Alt Tab does not work, any music playing has many gaps, etc.
>  It is still only using 1 or 2% of the processor.
>
> This happens during fairly easy DigiKam operations, tagging faces, moving
> pictures, etc, I am not doing any bulk recognition or anything.
>
> I am running Debian Jessie and DigiKam 3.5.0 using KDE 4.11.3
>
> Questions -
> Is there anything I can do to fix it?
> Is there anything I can do to provide more information?
> If I increase my memory from 16 Gb to 32 Gb is it likely to fix it or will
> DigiKam just use all of that when the problem occurs?
>
> Thanks
