Hi all,

The digiKam 8.4.0 Appimage bundle pre-release is now based on last modern
frameworks Qt 6.7.0 and KDE 6.2.0.

File can be downloaded at usual place : https://files.kde.org/digikam/
Take a  care : the bundle is named with the suffix "-Qt6" not "-Qt5". This
bundle is compiled under Ubuntu 22.04 and require a Linux with GlibC version >=
2.35 to run.

Can you reproduce the dysfonction with this version?

Thanks in advance

I just related same issues (video is deleted yet) and despite search speed is
much better from version 6, IMHO "Quick search" (no "New search" cause I don't
need to reuse them) should not begin to search automatically while typing and
the way to disable it is not easy to find, is not intuitive.

It was the first i turned off a long time ago.

"you don't seem to understand the "New search" button"
digiKam becomes completely unusable until the search is complete.
when the user clicks on the search tab digikam repeats the previous search.
if the result is hundreds of thousands of hits, digikam will not allow another
search until the previous one is finished.
not even with the new search button!
this is the problem!

Add at least one "Stop Search" button.
Currently, there is a small trick (born of necessity) that can be used to

elegant.

Hi Maik.
I tried again...
"...last view is restored."
In this case, the name of the window is misleading: "New search". Name of the
window name is "New", the displayed results are old.
I tried to accept the explanation: "The idea here is actually that the user in
the Iconview is not facing an empty view", but I don't understand why the empty
window is a problem... ...if the user wants to search, he does not expect to
receive results before starting the search.
Only an idea, that's all that's needed:

Using SQLLite in a local database stored in a SSD.

If I leave search tab selected, close Digikam and launch it again , it stays
several minutes showing the splash window, cause Digikam is opened with search
tab selected (last one I used before I closed digikam).

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411099

--- Comment #24 from Rafael Linux User  ---
Syv, you will never have this issue. My photos are on an NFS network drive and
that complicates the management by Digikam even more, it's normal. What I
insist is not normal, is that if I press "reset" after a search, even without
having "Start automatic search" activated, Digikam simply stops reacting,
freezing parts of its windows for 1 to 4 minutes. After that time, if (while in
the search tab) I resize the Digikam window itself, the rendering of the
Digikam window is not done properly and it does NOT let me interact with
Digikam until it "comes back to itself". If I monitor the system status (CPU %,
hard disk access and network access), there are two Digikam processes consuming
12-15% CPU each (that's nothing). 

If I resize the Digikam window from any other tab than the search tab,
everything is fine.

So, "resetting" is useless, whether I do it "before" or "after", it doesn't
matter. The fact is that, being in the search window, with NO parameters in any
input box, the search process of EVERYTHING seems to restart every time the
window is resized, leaving Digikam "frozen" for 1 to 3 minutes.

Unfortunately, this method does not solve the problems... :-(
...however, it creates another problem: after clicking the reset and ok button,
in the search field of search panel the text is does not receive the "reset"
value, and my digikam starts looking for something again, but I can't know

Indeed, as you do not have hundreds of thousands, you are unaware that while
the automatic search is being performed by clicking on "Search", the interface
is often blocked and allows you to click on "Reset". Fortunately for you, you

I don't have hundredS of thousands but I deal in tenS of thousands. I
also am not enthusiastic about the "re-search'

My solution is much more low-tech and is user dependent. 

When I'm done with my search, I press the reset button.

Peter, unfortunately, I understand that if nothing has been done about it in
the searches since 2019 to date, then they don't see it as an issue. Most
likely because they don't work with hundreds of thousands of photos on a daily
basis. 

Moreover, to date, I know users who, in order to avoid this problem, prefer to
use the o.s. file manager search and thus avoid the waiting time that occurs
because of what I have already mentioned in my previous messages.

Hi Maik!
I full agree with Rafael Linux User!
Yesterday, one search term returned 160,000 results. I closed the digikam,
because I finished the work.
I opened digikam today and I wanted to search for a word, but the digikam was
busy compiling yesterday’s search for long minutes.
I waited, I waited and at the end of the operation (about 3 minutes) I could
see the results of yesterday’s search. Wonderful... ...but no longer current!
If the user wants to search, then the user is not interested in the results of
the previous search (if so, use the saved search).
This operation of search is very frustrating at times! Why can't the user
disable/enable the last search function?
Please, please change that!

Yes, I know that fact as I commented in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411099#c10 and in the video. Some time ago
I suggested to change that option for a more intuitive (visible without "Right
clicking") way to enable/disable that option. But the fact (visible in the
video) it that even with "Auto begin ..." disabled, if user click on "Search
tab" the last search (not manually saved) begins and doesn't matter if user
delete the word(s) that he wrote in last search, cause DK will not autosave an
"empty" search ... 

As maybe I didn't explain clearly, I resume: The "autosaving last search" in
"Search" tab should be disabled or (as the "Auto begin ...") DK should let user
decide if he wants that feature enabled.

Thank you anyway, it was only a suggestion from an user with large databases
who suffer the effects of the actual way the search feature is working  ;)

Don't worry, I know you always try to do the best for Digikam. I understand the
concept of virtual album based on saves search, but when we work with thousand
images with metadata, user ends hating the unresponsiveness of interface each
time he did a long search autosaved in the last use of the search tab.

I could understand that any previous saved search appeared as a virtual album
(next to the real albums tree) when the user intentionally save it. But is not
the case. The auto-beginning of search, IMHO, is more focused to the searches
that interactively shows words matching the letters user is typing (like when
you use the "Search using ..." field that all we know in any web browser and
the browser shows a dropdown list of possible matches). But just nowadays,
using DK 6.2 over SQL Lite, retrieving all thumbnails related to a "incomplete
keyword" (while user is typing) has undesirable performance consequences. Even
(why not?) to show (like mentioned web browsers dropdown lists) the possible
matches without showing thumbnails, will improve drastically the search
experience.

Do not get me wrong. The concept is also that the search is a virtual album and
the last view is restored. You also do not expect that you have to press on
album, tags or date tab first on Enter. The last view is restored. What we need
to change is to speed up the search as much as possible. But above all, the GUI

2019-08-22 Thread Rafael Linux User
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411099

--- Comment #10 from Rafael Linux User  ---
This is the video with comments https://fromsmash.com/q6VU0vcQW3-c0

As I wrote even is users-list, the search tab becomes unusable and his way of
work is not intuitive, so if user have thousand of images, is desperate to try
to search something.

This is what I propose:
- By default, "Auto begin search" should no be enabled. It's usual in many
cases that user must search for a foreign name and fails while typing the name
while reading the name in other place, so Digikam begins to search an
incomplete field, complicating more the search process than finish with a
freezed Digikam interface.
- Do not autosave last search. User should be who interactively save searches
he does giving them a name. It's a madness that each time user access to search
tab, the last NOT saved search begins. It should be void each time user click
on "Search" tab.

I'm not considering in this proposal any performance related issue, but the
fact is that is something to take into account too (the video was over a 28k
images database, not over the +300k photos I usually use).

This way, if I want to search, I'll click in "Search", no thumbnails should be
showed, then I'll type the word(s) I want to search and finally I press "Enter"
key. Then, and only then, the thumbnails of the images that matches should be
showed. That's my opinion as user.

[digikam] [Bug 411099] Search: Avoid search without user input (void fields)

Ok, that explains it. I had looked at the video 3 times and could not do
anything with it. Regardless of the video, yes if you confirm a reset advanced
search with OK, all items are found - because the SQL query gives it.
Otherwise, with 28K images and SQLite no search and display of items take no
longer than 2 seconds.

Please, forgot that video. The conversion to make it smaller dropped a lot of
frames and makes the result a nonsense. Tomorrow I'll send it as it should be
uploaded.

I'm sorry

Yes Mike, I insist in talk about the search function must be changed to be
useful and usable. This time, to avoid any "change" in configuration that could
interfere in the results, I deleted all database files of DK and create them
again. The only change was add "SVG" to mimetypes.
Scenario: Digikam 6.2 with SQLite database just after reescaning 28k images.

In the video https://fromsmash.com/YC56l.yvIC-c0 you can see each time I DELETE
the field to search and I press "Enter" key to force to search nothing, when I
click the "Search" tab again, it appears. I didn't save anything, so this is
just the first problem: User should be free to save the searches he considers
usual and if user deletes any string in the search field ... why do not save
this "empty" field too automatically? It's such incoherent, I think.

In the video, I even enter in "Advanced search" to reset ("Reset" button) the
filter criteria but the result is even worst: Digikam will show ALL thumbnails
(and takes a lng time), when I'm not giving any criteria to search and even
have disabled "Automatically begin search".

I expect this time I explained clearly the problems related with the search
tab.

;)

I notice that you keep talking about your blank search field. Yes, there is
nothing in it. You understood that you do not have to enter complex searches
over and over again? These can be saved. These appear in the list where the
"Actual search" is located. Here you can repeat the search with just one click.
The "Actual search" is just your last search which is automatically saved, this
entry is started when the search tab is called up. Of course it can also be
that something is wrong with your DB table in which the searches are stored.
Then the output in the console would be interesting.

Maybe I need to share with you a video recording of the steps, to show you that
I have NO fields of any kind with any value, so the result should be no show
any thumbnail!! The speed in searching is a secondary issue if the search (as
it should work with my configuration) doesn't start till I press "Enter" key.
Tomorrow I'll share with you the screen recording.

The problem is not the search in the DB, this takes only a fraction of a
second, even with many items. The problem is, if your search wants to show a
lot of items, this is still much faster with SQLite than MySQL. If your "last"
search has yielded only a few items, the call is not disturbing either. As I
said, we are working on the speed of MySQL. But I really do not want to see a
dead thumbnail view and right sidebar, when calling up the search tab.

Just tested here, the "Actual search" in the list is executed. It is always the
"last" search that would be performed. The sidebar concept always provides for
the last view to be restored, the last tags, the last date, the last labels,
the last selected album.

I have two distinct PCs with Digikam. In both, I have no saved searches. In
fact, there is only the "Actual search" item in the list and even if I "Edit"
that item  (nothing happens), nothing changes. Any time I click in "Search"
tab, appears a lot of images with not knew filters. Even if I click in
"Advanced search", then button "Reset" and finally button "Accept", the same.
And moreover, as I wrote, I have disabled "Auto begin ..." so even in the case
a supposed search was saved, Digikam should not search nothing till I press
"Enter".

The last saved search is executed. You see a list of saved searches, where the
first list entry is executed. Store a quick search, use a name so that it is at
the top position. The idea here is actually that the user in the Iconview is
not facing an empty view.
