[digiKam-users] Digikam with Inotify

[leoutation]

Hi
I use Inotify with Gerbera (Mediatomb fork) to monitor directories
changes. Very useful  to automatically update directories when adding or
deleting files.
Would it be possible to use inotify with Digikam to avoid manual
directories updates?
Thanks

In digiKam album engine:

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/album/engine/albumwatch.cpp#n62

...we use QFileSystemWatcher which use inotify already under Linux :

I asked this question because, with my previous dk,  I had to update
manually each time I added files. Now, I see "real time" autoscan  works
for new files but not for their thumbnails. To create png thumbnail, I
have to open new file with dk editor.
