[KPhotoAlbum] Fwd: Re: KPhotoAlbum crashes while generating thumbnails during start

[Johannes Zarl]

Hello Manfred,

Just to try my theory out, could you please try the attached patch?

A quick way of attaching the patch to your clone of the repo is as follows:

$ git apply 0001-Disable-Thumbnailrequest-preemption.patch

The patch disables preemption of low priority thumbnail jobs by higher 
priority ones. This should hopefully make the gui more responsive in your 
specific situation.

Does the patch change anything for you?

Cheers,
  Johannes
