1. Just installed gdb (manjaro)
2. run
gdb env LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libfreetype.so"
downloads/appimages/digikam-5.9.0-01-x86-64.appimage

and I get:

> gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.7m.so.1.0:

I'm not yet on python 3.7, I'm still on python: 3.6.6. 
3.7 crashes some of my "other stuff"

I ran the quality sorter, and now I'm going album by album and
removing most of the flags. When I'm done with the album, then I
write the metadata to file.

I have found that:

* if I have the lazy synchronize: ON then it will crash every time
* if I have the lazy synchronize: OFF then it crashes occasionally

I tried dk6 beta. It took 7 hours for the database conversion to the
new file structure: 45000 images and no videos. 

AMDFX8350 (8cores-4Mhz), 12GB RAM, plenty of disc space. 

DK6beta: I had the lazy synchronize: OFF and it didn't crash but
DK6beta is slow and I'm missing 1 row from the thumbnail window, so I
removed DK6beta and restored my DK5.9.0 dbs.

Merci
