Bug ID: 431095
Summary: Make "scan for new items" collection sensitive
Product: digikam
Version: 7.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Scan
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sven.burmeis...@gmx.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
According to bug 262720 pressing F5 should update the thumbnails of an album
and scan for new items. However, this does not work for finding new folders on
the first level of a collection. Thus one has to rescan the whole collection to
add one new folder.
If "rescan for new items" was collection sensitive, one would only have to
rescan the collection the new folder is part of. This is still a lot of
rescanning just to find one new folder, but certainly more efficient than
scanning all collections.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. using the file manager, add a new folder to the last (in digikam's
collection list) of your collections
2. In digikam, select the collection with the new folder in the albums view and
press F5
--> new folder does not appear
3. Start "scan for new items"
OBSERVED RESULT
F5 does not add the new folder and "scan for new items" starts to scan all
collections, not just the one selected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only scan within the selected collection. If the root item is selected, i.e.
"albums", scan all collections.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be even more efficient if there was a way to just scan for new
folders. After that the user could use F5 to just update that one folder.
