These days I started a new try to see if something changed after version upgrades of digikam. I started digikam as usual ... and it crashes as usual. I moved the .db files out of the way and started again ... it asks for the place where the pictures are and then behaves normal. No crash so far. I can start it again and close and start again. It works. I changed the phonon-backends from vlc to gstreamer and back but no crash and no hanging, it works with both. I decided to use vlc because amarok plays sound with it while it does not with gstreamer. While playing around with digikam it crashes in one situation wich I reported then under Bug#764321: digikam crashes when a video file of type 'Apple QuickTime movie' is in an Album Regards Jürgen Leibner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
