Hi All,
I’m giving digiKam a fresh try.
Just downloaded 6.3.0 and installed it on my Win 10 64bit pro system (Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362, with all the latest patches)
Installation → no issues.
First run of digiKam, selected a (test)directory with about a 800 images (TIF, JPG and NEF files), choose SQL-lite and a seperate directory for the database on a SSD drive.
(the test image directory is about 28GB in total size)
And then the wait begins…
After about 10% of processing, digiKam crashes:
Faulting application name: digikam.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d6fdfed

P10:
When I restart digiKam, the processing continues to about 16% and crashes again. 
I’ve tried a reinstall of digiKam; no effect.
I’ve tried running digiKam as Administrator; no effect.
After about 4 x crash; I got about 50% in the status bar in the lower right side of the digiKam window.
The issue seems to occur immediately, as soon as I use the mouse cursor to click on a subdirectory of the selected image location.
Is there something I might have missed? Is there anything else I could try? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any ideas and/or assistance!
