[digiKam-users] Preview or Fullscreen mode exits automatically after about 30 seconds

[Erich Korn]

It seems that it has really something to do with the keystrokes, that is it happens only when I’m in the Captions function. When I make no input at all it does not exit. But when I have started to write text, then also the preview of the pictures where i do not write any text exits after 30 seconds.

Then I start to enter a describing text (Captions) and after about 30 seconds the preview function exits automatically and throws me out of my text. This is really annoying and I can’t find a setting to avoid this. I can’t believe that this is intentional. The same is in the full screen mode - this also exits after about 30 seconds. What is wrong here?

On my system (Mac Mini with 4 processors and 16GB memory) it takes about 5 seconds to display a HEIC photo  (ca. 4 MB) in preview or fullscreen mode, whereas a JPG photo takes max. 1 second. Outside of digiKam the time to display a HEIC photo is normal (1 second). Is there a way to accelerate this?
