Bug ID: 450261
Summary: Digikam searches for sidecar files even though reading
them is disabled
Product: digikam
Version: 7.5.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Sidecar
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I was debugging my PC's samba connections with Wireshark, when I started seeing
constant xmp file access errors. I have never used sidecar files, but in any
case I made sure that the read/write options on Digikam aboyt sidecar files
were disabled
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure that read/write sidecar files are disabled
2. Select any image in your library
3. Use any tool to see digikam file access. Observed for first time with
wireshark
4. Digikam try to access to the xmp file sidecar (1.jpg, search for 1.xmp and
1.jpg.xmp in the same folder).
OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam try to find for each selected image, the sidecar xmp. even when the use
of sidecar files is disabled. This is an avoidable waste of resources
especially when the photos are being accessed remotely, for example via SMB
EXPECTED RESULT
Since the use of sidecar files is disabled, Digikam should never attempt to
access sidecar files. It's not really a big problem, especially when we work
with local files, but in remote files, where we usually have lower performance
and higher latency, any improvement is welcome.
