           Summary: wish:  modeless "Rebuild All Thumbnails" dialg box
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: sami_cokar hotmail com


Version:           0.9.0 final (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061212 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-21ubuntu2) configured with --enable-final
OS:                Linux

The new "Rebuild All Thumbnails" dialog box is extremely convenient.  Can this dialog box be made "modeless" so that it does not block the operation of digikam?  

As RAW collections get larger, the probability of a user modifying enough images during the "rebuild all thumbnail" process to invalidate its results is relatively small.

By being modeless, Digikam is not blocked for a potentially long period of time.

Thank you.

An alternate approach could be to have an additional button labled "Work in background" that would close the window but leave a small progress bar showing in a part of the application frame. Users could right-click on the bar to restore dialog and/or abort the process. Actually, this kind of facility should be made available to any other plugin as a framework option.

One thing that some Windows applications do well in this regard is they will modify their title bar text to reflect the progress level during lengthy operations. I.e. "digiKam - 34% complete" This allows users to work with other applications while still being able to monitor the progress of the app even if its minimized. Very handy.

I'd like to point out that bugs 137320, 138927, 140615 are all similar in the sense that in each case the reporter would like to have *background* (re)creation of thumbnails.

Yes, but there a some differences:
* 140615: create all MISSING thumbnails for WHOLE album or ONLY A FOLDER (without blocking)
* 137320: create all MISSING thumbnails for CURRENT FOLDER WHILE SHOWING it (without blocking)
* 138927: REBUILD ALL thumbnails WITHOUT BLOCKING

effectively, any thumbnail generation/recreation should not block.
