FYI, I have uploaded digikam 2:1.2.0-7+b1 on qt-kde.debian.net that fixes these crashes. I did not upload the digikam 1.4.0 package that Mark supplied because I have trouble rebuilding it and besides that, there seem to be some potential issues with its mysql usage that I would like to investigate first. However, if you have already installed digikam 1.4.0 and it's working for you, there is no need to downgrade. Regards, George
