Comment 7 for bug 580902

I can also confirm this problem on Kubuntu 10.04 and, although I've followed the instructions to upgrade to 1.3.0, I'm sorry to have to report that 1.3.0 does not fix it for me. Although it is a definite improvement, it's still gobbling large amounts of memory (~500Mb) and it still slows down to a crawl after a while. When this happens, I'm having to exit and re-start digikam and then carry on with whatever I was doing.
