greets, folks . . .
for more than a decade i've gone happily along, making pictures for a living, sorting them with a gnome application called gthumb (which meshes nicely with the gimp) and being generally happy. then the gnome people did what gnome people do: they improved gthumb to the point where it's utterly useless. they removed menus and scrollbars and committed other atrocities.
so i thought i'd bite the bullet and try digikam, which is in many respects too much, just too much. it tries to do things that i do not want done. it insists on running a full inventory of all my pictures all the time -- gthumb was good about not doing this until it was asked to -- and generally behaves as if i'm a 14-year-old who wants to keep track of his million selfies. grrr.
but i can live with that and i feel confident that after spending some time with it i can turn off much of the stuff i don't like and make it into something potentially more useful than gthumb was when it was useful, about one major version ago. but there's a problem: when i use digikam-trinity (0.9.6) within a few minutes i can hear my computer's fans screaming and when i run top i see that it's consuming more than 100 percent.
any ideas how i can fix this or at least troubleshoot it?
tia.
Try running it in gdb and break execution when you see the problem. Grab backtrace and let us know. This would be a start :-)
