Description Markus Ueberall 2011-07-08 22:24:51 CEST

Trying to start gwenview de facto freezes the system (mouse can be moved, though movements are sluggish). No error messages are displayed when started from the console[*], CTRL-C/CTRL-Z seems not to be possible anymore (slowdown by at least two orders of magnitude).

[*] actually, I disabled nepomuk, so in that case "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" is thrown, but even if the nepomuk service is running, the result remains the same.

Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-08 23:46:30 CEST

It's working ok here, on my i586 system.  If you have a lot of pictures in the
open directory, it can take quite a while to build the ~/.thumbnails/*/* files,
but that is only done once for each picture.  Once all of your pictures have
thumbnails, it will be much faster.

I have a directory with around 3000 images.  The initial thumbnail building
took a few hours on my 6 year old system.

If you have a konsole running as root, and run htop while gwenview is running,
I expect you'll see it's in a device wait, waiting for disk i/o.

Let it run till the thumbnails have finished building.

I can't reproduce on x86_64 either.

Closing the bug, as this is normal functioning of gwenview.
