I use removable collections on my laptop. Once it was scanned for the
first time, the thumbs/previews and the album tree of the removable disk
are always visible, whether the disk is plugged or not.
I guess, this is an advantage (for me it's a bit confusing, but I got
used to it).
Now, when I start digikam with plugged disk, it checks the whole disk
again each time and I have to wait...
Bit I found a work-around: start digikam /without/ the external disk,
and plug/mount it, when dk is already running. Then is does not re-read
all files, but still all files are available from the album tree.
Just, if you accidentally quit digikam and start it again without first
unplugging the external disk - you are there waiting for the re-reading.
So: never forget to unplug the usb-disk before starting digikam...
