[Digikam-users] Digikam 3.5 very unstable on a new KUbuntu installation 14.04

[Gilles Caulier]

yes, sqlite problem sound more relevant. It's also an UPSTREAM bug
located in libsqlite.

About libkexiv2 problem, it's about to extract preview from metadata.

In 4.3.0, i add a preview extract call like this for thumbnail to
support DNG files. A bug report have been filed about.

This has raise an in-deep bug in libkexiv2 quickly, because thumbs
generator is used most of time.

But, preview extraction is also used in ... preview mode (F3). In
certain case, this can crash older digiKam version.

Now, libkexiv2 is fixed well...
