| Yes, all images are there and the counts are correct when I click on the
| categories themselves. Only searching fails, also with your demo.
| 
| Sometimes the search returns a little pop-up window telling me it found 0
| images. Other times it returns to the normal application window with a
| totally blank content and the status bar saying "showing 0 images".
| 
| 
| I see this debug output :
| QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
| QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
| QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
| QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
| (this is when opening the search screen)
| WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) \x08

Nope, the list rejects mails which are larger than a certain amount of
kbytes. But I got it ,-)

It was indeed a bug in my optimization the other day.
I've fixed it now, and it will be part of the next build.

Thanks for reporting
Jesper.
