[digiKam-users] 7.5.0 crashes on new item check [SOLVED]

[Jay]

Gilles, thank you for the information to chase down this problem. I ran a backtrace and found a single PNG image (out of 30,000 plus) was corrupt. I deleted it and the program runs now. Still have some cleanup to do on the digiKam databases, but things are looking up.

When I start up 7.5.0 Appimage, the check for new items takes 6 seconds to reach 98% complete, and hangs at that point. After about 11 seconds the program quits with no messages.
