[digiKam-users] 7.4.0 is remarkably slow ... is this normal?

[r bartlett]

 Thank you, Gilles.
Some additional info:

Lubuntu 20.04LTS.  Running the 7.4.0 AppImage from the command line, no arguments added.  Database is (from the settings) SQLite, hosted locally on my /home.   Not sure if this matters, but this was a upgrade, as I had an existing 6.4.0 install (the .deb for my OS).  And I will try to run it again with debug.  I do see that (It's still up and running) there are a number of messages saying there's an error with corrupted EXIF info.  Maybe it's something to do with that??
Also, in sleuthing, I realized that the folder I was operating on had 5000+ images, not just a few hundred.  But even so, I didn't experience vastly long waits with 6.4.0.  It hasn't ever been lightning fast, but it was usable.  This is really slow enough to be a hindrance when I'm trying to get lots of tagging done.  I do have a few of the "do on startup" options selected, which means the initial load is slow, and I like it to find the new images on startup as well, so I'm used to waiting a few minutes while it chugs through newly discovered images.  But for the tagging and "Apply" it shouldn't require 30 mins each time I add a tag.  Really hope to find a way to speed this up.

If you can give me a few tips on where to find other answers, I'll get you the info!  Thank you!

:-)

 Hi and happy new year,
Definitively no. If the operation takes ages it's abnormal.
The question is : which operating system did you use exactly ? Which database type ? What are the debug log traces from the console ?
Best regards

Now that I'm using 7.4.0, I'm finding that it is taking forever to do simple operations that in 6.4.0 were never in-the-blink-of-an-eye but would take a minute or two.  I tagged a few hundred photos "2021" and clicked apply, then went to dinner, and I'm back and it's still only at 34%.  This can't be right.  Have I done something wrong or can I tweak settings to allow this to happen faster?

Thank you!
