[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#364215: digikam now fail to display pictures, and needlessly invoke dcraw too

[Helge Hafting]

Package: digikam
Version: 0.8.1-3
Severity: important


The bug sure is important - the main feature of digikam is to
look at pictures in albums - and that fails. All I get
is a black window when trying to view my jpgs. :-(

It was even worse when I had dcraw on the system.
I would click on a jpeg, and for some strange dark reason
dcraw would be started and just sit there consuming
lots of cpu.  Yes - there are raw images (.x3f files from my
sigma SD10) in the same directory. But digikam isn't set
to display .x3f files.  So why the _hell_ invoke dcraw then?
dcraw is way too slow for displaying these pictures anwyay.
And I weren't even clicking on a .x3f file, I clicked on
a .jpg . . .

Uninstalling dcraw helped in the sense that it is no longer invoked.
I still only get a black window, but at least I can use the arrows
to change from one black picture to the next. :-/

My album directories contains .jpg and .x3f files that have the same
name except for the extension.  I tried moving the .x3f files
to another directory in case this confised the new digikam.
But it didn't help, I still only get black screens.
Now using xloadimage/gimp to view images. :-(
