DT 5.0.0 often crashes when browsing through the thumbnails in LightTable

[redmoon1945]

Describe the bug

When using the official AppImage of DT 5.0.0 on Linux Mint 22, it often crashes when browsing through the thumbnails in LightTable. It was OK with 4.8.1 on the same system.

Steps to reproduce

The freeze is not systematic. It may occurs after just the first browsing or 15 minutes later.
Just open DT, and using Page up - Page Down navigate through the thumbnails, changing current folder frequently. Confirming OpenCL is not used.

Expected behavior

We shold never experience a crash for such a basic feature.

None

If yes, what is the GPU card and driver?

Please provide additional context if applicable. You can attach files too, but might need to rename to .txt or .zip

Forgot to mention that I tried the "-d" switch to get more debug info that the backtrace, but strangely I have not been able to reproduce the bug this way (effect of stack corruption different ? I dont know). The freeze happens on average 5 min after I open DT and start browsing the thumbnails and changing folder (the only action I do), OpenCL confirmed not used when I look in the Settings.

I can confirm the crashes in the lightable with DT 5.0.0 on Windows 11, when selecting multiple missing files (culled with XnViewMP) to remove them from the thumbnails. Note : I select them with Ctrl+ multiple Click.

This issue was already present in 4.8.1 (it is the reason I upgraded to 5.0.0).

[wpferguson]

Use the db maintenance lua-script to remove the missing files.

The issue is that you are removing images that darktable knows about (and that have database references) from outside of darktable, so darktable doesn't know if the images are missing because you forgot to mount a drive, or because the user did something ill advised.

If you are going to cull using an external program, then you should probably cull before importing into darktable.

[redmoon1945]

The bug reported by this issue does not involve selected and removing thumbnails. It just merely browsing the thumbnails (with mouse or page up/down)

[Artaga734]

@wpferguson There is a button to remove the missing files in LightTable. I will take a look at the lua-script for database maintenance. Sometimes, for whatever reason we might need to remove files from the disk from an already imported library. I understand your point of culling the majority prior to importing the files.

@redmoon1945 The issue might be related to yours in some way (unknown to me) as the symptoms are the same = LightTable crashes. But I think it deserves a separate issue and maybe link it here in case our two issues originate from the same bug.

[wpferguson]

The remove button in the actions on selected images module, removes the database information, but leaves the files, but it may work.

The script compares the database to the files (not) present and gives you an option to make the database agree with the files.

[Artaga734]

@wpferguson That is what I want to use indeed. I filed a separate issue here: #18166 with a backtrace.

[Artaga734]

Back to this original issue of @redmoon1945 I just happened to experience the same crash when scrolling while trying to replicated my other bug. So I can confirm @redmoon1945's specific issue.

Thank you Artaga734 to confirm the bug. In my mind this is rather a high priority bug, as it prevents the use of DT 5.0.0. As previously mentioned, I am fully committed to help fix the bug, just tell me what to do. Cheers, we will get it...
