--- Comment #5 from IWBR <iwannaber...@gmail.com> --- This behavior still persists. During the initial scan, you cannot browse other albums/folders. In the command line, I see a bunch of "Database is locked." It would be great if one could browse the existing albums while the scan for new items is performed in the background. PS: in this specific case, the pictures are in a NAS, but the database is stored locally in a SSD drive. e.g.: Digikam::BdEngineBackendPrivate::checkRetrySQLiteLockError: Database is locked. Waited 5250 Digikam::BdEngineBackendPrivate::checkRetrySQLiteLockError: Database is locked. Waited 6750 Digikam::BdEngineBackendPrivate::checkRetrySQLiteLockError: Database is locked.
