Bug ID: 435202
Summary: Newly imported images do not show in database
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Scan
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: vaarti...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I did not have this problem previously, but suddenly do. Either it cropped up
because the size of my image collection has grown substantially, from importing
a lot of files from a previous storage location, or it came with the upgrade to
7.2.0. Both of these changes happened at the same time.
Here is the current issue. When I import a photo from a memory card in
digiKam, even a single photo, it does not appear in the digiKam album where I
imported it. It does copy on the filesystem because I can manually browse to
it. If I select "Open in File Manager" from digiKam, the photo is there. It
does not show up in the album in digiKam right away... and I can't figure out
how long it takes to finally appear. If I right click on the album and choose
refresh... it does not populate with the new item. It does eventually, but not
when I am actually trying to work with the new file.
This behavior occurs 100% of the time, and is making digiKam almost useless as
an import and edit tool for new images. I import, and then have to manually
find it in the filesystem to open it.
I suspect it has to do with "Find new items" and how that is processing. It's
almost as if it is scanning the entire folder structure, which is massive, vs
just scanning the album I just downloaded to or clicked "refresh" for.
I assume, again, it relates to my large volume of photos because I only
experienced this problem after I decided to use digiKam as my primary
management and import solution and imported all of my old files.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import from Media Card
2. Attempt to find in Album
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Newly downloaded/imported file is not shown
EXPECTED RESULT
Expect to see new file that I just imported.
