[digiKam-users] Continuous accessing

[Ronald Orenstein]

I am using the MAC OS version of 7.0.0rc. Some of my albums are on an external WD My Book hard drive. I find that the drive is continuously being accessed as long as Digikam is running even if I am not using the program (quitting the program stops the disc from spinning). Does anyone know why this is, and what I can do stop it other than repeatedly shutting down Digikam?  Thanks!

I seem to have solved this problem, and it wasn't DigiKam - it was Spotlight.  Once I excluded the external drive from Spotlight the problem stopped (of course Finder no longer indexes changes to the drive).  Thanks anyway!
