Hi,

This is a very huge collection. I never tested in this kind of
configuration. Yere my collection is about 200000 JPEG files but size is
around 300 Gb on a SSD drive.

Which kind of database do you use exactly ? where is stored this database ?

It's abnormal. Your linux system hide Qt debug spaces with a default
configuration. I already fixed this rule to under Centos. It just a text
file to change on the system. Which Linux system do you use exactly ?

Before to run digiKam set this env. variable :

export QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true"

Yes, sure. With AppImage bundle, start digiKam with debug argument. It will
run digiKam in GDB.

If you don't use AppImage, just start digiKam in debugger as explained here
