--- Comment #6 from Andreas Schleth <schleth...@web.de> --- Yes, it does not solve the problem immediately, but it would open up the path to fixing the issue. The guys programming KPA put in a lot of effort and are quite good at fixing problems they can reproduce. We have a twofold problem here: a) the program hangs (should be fixed) b) you suggest a program improvement (somehow show the current filename) To my understanding, it would help a lot if we know about a) (why does it hang? can we reproduce it?). The hang might not even be due to a corrupt file or so but due to some other filesystem problems (permissions, strange filename or whatever). I often encounter problems with non-ASCII letters in filenames. One program interprets them as ISO8859 the other as UTF-8, ... So the hang might even occur before the program has any chance to write out the filename. So my first idea would be to have a critical look at the folder names. Image files usually have standardized names from the camera or phone that are pure ASCII. "... so the program just stopped working the day I added some random file it did not like. ..." If you have an idea about the date, you only need to look at the files (and folders!) from around that date and not the whole database. Anyway, binary search is very nice to you, even with a large number of files. 10000 instead of 1000 images would only take 3-4 more loops. Just imagine how much more (unpaid!) effort goes into improving and fixing the program :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
