[Bug 262720] New: Rebuild thumbnails or 'scan for new images' should work on just current folder

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262720

           Summary: Rebuild thumbnails or 'scan for new images' should
                    work on just current folder
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.4.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Thumbnails
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.1)
OS:                Linux

My photo library contains over 100,000 photos spread through over 1000
directories.  I frequently edit images in a different package while digikam is
open, and before I can use the new images in digikam, I must either wait for
digikam to recognize the updated version, or I must scan for new images or
update the thumbnails (depending on what I just did).  Performing either of
these operations on my entire collection takes forever.

It would be really great if there were options for these two tools to operate
on just the current folder, which is generally all I really need to have done.
This would dramatically improve the time required to manage my photos!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Scan a large collection for new images, or rebuild thumbnails.

Actual Results:  
Go out to eat.  When I return, the operation is done.

Expected Results:  
Stand up and stretch.  When I sit down, the operation is done.

Is this feature known to be added to the 1.7.0 release, or are you merely
curious?  Ubuntu 10.10 ships with 1.4.0 by default.  I'd rather not deviate
from the default packages unless I know it'll fix my problem?

Actually, no. I've stumbled just on that same problem today with the 2.0
branch. Would be great to have this feature and shouldn't be that hard to
implement. I'll check when I get home.

To rebuild thumbs from current album, just press F5... no ?

F5 does a "refresh" (whatever that is), but it neither scans for new images nor
rebuilds thumbnails.

Martin,

Can this feature can be backported to trunk easily, or do you prefer to let's
it in GoSC 2010 branch for the moment ?

I believe it could be backported, these aren't big changes and these parts
should be mostly the same as the trunk. I'll try to apply the patch and commit
to trunk if there will be no problems.

Can similar per-album functionality be added to the "scan for new images"
operation?  I actually need that worse than the "rebuild thumbnails" operation,
although both will come in handy.

Probably, but I find it quite useless - scan for new images is done on every
digiKam start and it should also dynamically detect new images and add them to
your collections. If this does not work, please file a separate bug report. I'm
closing this wish now as the rebuild thumbs feature has been implemented.

--- Comment #12 from Obi-Wan <obiwan jedi com>  2011-01-17 20:21:44 ---
So you're suggesting that I close and restart digikam every time I use some
other application to add an image to an album?  Dynamic detection happens only
every so often, and I sometimes have waited many minutes for it to detect a new
image before giving up and rescanning my entire collection.

This feature has been re-requested in bug 263463.

No. digiKam use KDirWatch API from KDELibs. If something changes, digiKam
database will be triggered and changes must be registered in metadata.
