Hello,
Sorry for my late reply.
This is version 8.4 of Digikam with SQLite, compiled on Debian 12
(Bookworm).
To better evaluate the conversion time, there is a date-time string sent
every second in the log:
“time ------------------- 13/11/2024 19:03:11 ------------------------”.
There are two log files:
1) digikam.log for import with DNG conversion;
https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/5gekGMbH6R#EeE4S5W5ZzzqlVYssKqr7DBarAXGkiKdWOmJh2a22Fk=
2) digikamBatchQueueManager.log: for conversion (NEF→ DNG) with the
Batch Queue Manager.
https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/667BbwSTnp#z9w0FZ7SGOl9OgM507WR3R0ceKzbyG43wyTCnzjuc8c=
I don't have a high-end processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
Based on the number of seconds elapsed during conversion, does this seem
normal to you?
Thanks
