Bug ID: 435343
Summary: Crash getting People album property if Thumbnail file
removed
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Thumbs-IconView
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pierre.ke...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
(The "Component" should be something like People-album-Thumbnail)
SUMMARY
digiKam crashes (no more responding, kill process required) when opening a
*People* album properties (Alt-Enter or right-click→Properties) if its Tag
Thumbnail/Icon file was renamed (or moved) using filesystem (i.e. Windows
Explorer - not a good practice but digKam should not crash). See also [1] Note
below.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Assign a Tag Thumbnail to a People album using a face from gallery view
2. (info) digiKam can be kept open or closed now - does not change crash
behaviour
3. Use Windows Explorer to rename or remove the previousy assigned Thumbnail
file
4. Restart digiKam
5. On that Album, try getting its properties using Alt-Enter or
right-click→Properties
OBSERVED RESULT
* digiKam is not responding to any mouse/keyboard input. End-Task fails and the
process has to be killed.
EXPECTED RESULT
* digiKam to open the People album property interface/window.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: W10 (1909 on native hardware and 1809 on VMware player 15)
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What I already tested:
* Crash on the released version 7.2.0 and also version 7.1.3 (3 Sep 2020) - no
other versions tested.
* Does not happen using *Album* view Thumbnails (as opposed to *People* album)
* (info) If the Album Thumbnail file is restored to the same pathname, the icon
just reappear (after digiKam restart) which in itself is a very useful feature
to restore Thumbnails following path/file changed by mistake or without knowing
this impact.
digiKam Options which may be relevant:
* Enabled setting: Settings → Configure → Collections → [X] Monitor the albums
for external changes.
[1] Note that with this option enabled digiKam effectively detects a file
rename from the file system and reflects this correctly in Properties
(right-Tab) and Tool-Tip gallery view. It however seems not to "update/sync"
the Album Thumbnail property.
(This is my 1st bug report, I am pleased to help, run additional tests, clarify
as required. Thanks A LOT for this wonderfull open-source development, dayly
used here).
