[Bug 267509] New: Button to stop collection scan during startup

Pierre Dumuid
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267509

           Summary: Button to stop collection scan during startup
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.8.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.8.0 (using KDE 4.6.0)
OS:                Linux

When starting digikam, and the collection has changed considerably, it's
currently impossible to stop the collection scan (if it hasn't been turned off
at start up).

It would be good to have button / url on the splash screen with the simple
words, "skip".

Reproducible: Didn't try

Pierre,

Disabled Splashscreen at startup. Another startup dialog will appear when
collection are scanned. This dialog has a cancel button.

Marcel,

perhaps we can add a small button over splash, or better when user click
somewhere on splash, it close it and scan is canceled...

I fully agree we should have some sort of progress indicator on the splash
screen, possibly with a cancel button.
The splash screen goes away very easily, it's enough to click somewhere if you
want to continue work in another app while digikam starts, and it's gone, so
that should perhaps not be taken as any user input.

To fix the underlying issue, there is one thing we can do: The initial startup
scan does some important housekeeping work, like checking for removed files or
directories, and internal cleanup. This is relatively fast. Things get slow
when new files need to be parsed. So it should be possible - at first glance -
to quickly do the housekeeping, start digikam, and do a second round of
new-file scanning in the background.
