Bug ID: 422208
Summary: digiKam sporadically becomes totally unresponsive
(freezes up) when editing Tags
Product: digikam
Version: 6.4.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags-Keywords
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: gadams...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
digiKam sporadically becomes totally unresponsive (freezes up) when editing
Tags; especially likely when right-clicking a tag to choose "Properties"
Sometimes it will crash immediately when I right-click the Tag; other times, it
will crash when I click "Properties" in the right-click context menu (Tags)
Lately, it also frequently crashes when I drag/drop an image on the tag so as
to become the tags thumbnail.
I have completely uninstalled and re-installed several times and the problem
either immediately returns, or will occur after a bit of use.
I have described some of the problem here:
https://discuss.pixls.us/t/digikam-freezes-when-right-click-a-tag/18381
It doesn't seem to matter whether it is a parent Tag or a child Tag, and is
very random as to which and when it chooses to crash.
It has happened in both the Left Tags Search panel and the Right Tags apply
panel.
When it does crash, everything about digiKam becomes totally unresponsive and
never recovers to operable no matter how long I wait.
When it crashes, many of the Tags thumbnail images disappear; however, a
sure-fire way to make it crash again is to attempt to drag/drop another image -
any image - onto any Tag that has had it's thumbnail to disappear.
I only ever load jpegs in digiKam; digiKam only ever sees my finished jpegs.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION First, I will say this, in theory, design, and layout,
digiKam has the absolute best means of applying and searching Keyword Tags;
better than any other program I have ever used and I have many....; HOWEVER,
when dealing with more than just a handful of Tags, the entire Keyword Tag
feature of digiKam is highly problematic and prone to unexpected results and
crashes; it is my opinion that the stability of this wonderful Tagging system
needs be addressed thoroughly.
There are only two features in digiKam that I ever use; the Geolocation Editor
and applying and searching Keyword Tags; I wish you guys would build a
rock-solid Windows package that had only those two features - the Geolocation
Editor and the exact same Tags feature, except rock-solid.
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.
