[Digikam-users] scanning for new entries - stuck after 89% (Win7 32bit)

[Bert Haverkamp]

Replying to myself with the solution.

Following the remark from Gilles, I checked the libexiv2 version in 
ubuntu 15.04. It is version 0.24 (package 
libexiv2-13_0.24-ubuntu1_amd64.deb  So I downloaded version 0.23 
(package libexiv2-12_0.23-ubuntu1_amd64.deb) and installed it.
You can not uninstall 0.24, as there are many dependencies to it. So I 
took a shortcut and removed the link from libexiv2.so.13 to 
libexiv2.so.13.0.0 and replaced it with a link to 
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.12.0.0
ls -al libexiv2*
libexiv2.so.13 -> /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.12.0.0
libexiv2.so.13.0.0

I restarted digikam and this time I was able to scan all items. This 
clearly proves a bug in libexiv2 0.24. Hopefully 0.25 arrives quickly 
and solves this.

Thanks everyone for your help and especially Gilles!
Regards,
Bert
