Summary: Splash screen hangs and disappears when loading
network albums
Product: digikam
Version: 4.12.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Dear All,
I'm using a network share (samba) to store all my photos (over 20,000 in 200
directories).
When I indicate to Digikam the path to this share as one of my album locations,
the "findNewItems" process starts.
I can see that digikam is busy with referencing all the new images in its
database but it seems to take ages and there is no progress bar. After 15
minutes I give up because I have no indication that this process will end
successfully somehow.
If I restart the program from there, the splash screen will just hang and if I
click on it, it disappears. The digikam process is still running though but
nothing indicates to the user what is the progress on that task.
I think that a good idea would be to show a popup window with the proress of
the findNewItems task. If the user interrupts this task by closing the popup
window, digikam will restart its database synchronization next time your
restart.
Cheers,
Fred
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a network share to the digikam album paths (preferably over 10,000
photos)
2. Restart Digikam
3. Wait and/or click on the splash screen
Actual Results:
The splash screen disappears.
The program hangs in this state for more than 30 minutes.
Expected Results:
Show a progress dialog on the scanning of the network share
