Package: digikam Version: 0.7-3 Severity: important Today I took over 1000 photos with my Canon Powershot S60 (USB PTP class camera), each about 700 KB in size (jpg). Digikam quite happily got the thumbnails for all of these, so I tried to download all the full-size images from the 1GB flash card.
After a while the machine started thrashing horribly and it was impossible to switch virtual desktops. (The mouse cursor moved, jerkily, but that was my lot.) About 20 minutes later digikam died. (The machine then behaved OK.) It had downloaded about 400 pictures by then. I started it again and looked at what was happening with top, and found that digikam was reserving memory of the same order of magnitude as the total size of the files downloaded. (After downloading about 130 pictures it had hogged about an extra 100 MB of RAM.) Closing the camera window freed the memory. The machine uses 512MB RAM and no swap. (Yes I know, but I'm just a clueless luser so I don't understand why changing from 256 RAM + 256 swap to 512 RAM + 0 swap was a retrograde step. I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears and sing la la la until Linus explains this.) $ dpkg --status digikam Package: digikam Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 8756 Maintainer: Paul Telford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.7-3 Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.2.3), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.1-3), libgdbm3, libgphoto2-2 (>= 2.1.4-8), libgphoto2-port0 (>= 2.1.4-8), libimlib2, libjpeg62, libkexif0 (>= 0.1), libkipi0 (>= 0.1), libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1), libtiff4, libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libimlib2-dev Recommends: digikamimageplugins, kipi-plugins ii kdelibs4 3.3.2-1 ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 ii libgcc1 3.4.3-6 ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 ii libgphoto2-2 2.1.5-2 ii libgphoto2-port0 2.1.5-2 ii libimlib2 1.1.2-3 ii libjpeg62 6b-9 ii libkexif0 0.1-2 ii libkipi0 0.1-2 ii libqt3c102-mt 3.3.3-7 ii libstdc++5 3.3.5-5 ii libtiff4 3.7.1-2 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 ii libimlib2-dev 1.1.2-3 un digikamimageplugins <none> un kipi-plugins <none> (I didn't know about the two recommended packages and have not tried installing them yet. KDE installed digikam, not me (IIRR)! I assume it isn't relevant to this bug. If it is, maybe this should be a dependancy, not a recommendation.)
