            Bug ID: 360474
           Summary: Initial setup: Splash shows "Loading tools..." but it
                    is scanning images
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Hi, I opened digikam the first time, I choose an image folder with about 20.000
images and went through the initial setup. The splash screen showed some
progress and then it seemed to be stuck at "Loading tools...". I wondered why
the tool loading might take so long.

I killed digikam and started it from the console where I got this for each
image in the folder:

...
digikam.dimg: "/home/user1/bilder/2015/SAM_1094.JPG"  : JPEG file identified
digikam.database: Adding new item "/home/user1/bilder/2015//SAM_1094.JPG"
digikam.metaengine: DateTime => Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal =>
QDateTime(2015-10-09 16:59:25.000 CEST Qt::TimeSpec(LocalTime))
digikam.metaengine: DateTime (Exif digitalized):  Fr. Okt. 9 16:59:25 2015
digikam.metaengine: Orientation => Exif.Image.Orientation =>  1
digikam.database: Scanning took 6 ms
...

The scan took 222 seconds in total. So over 3 minutes. Maybe instead of
"Loading tools..." one could display "Scanning images...".

I can confirm this. The splash window shows "Loading tools ..." while actually
scanning the image folder as gets visible when starting digikam in a terminal
window.

Cool, thanks for the quick fix.

Another observation: if I click on the splash screen it disappears but digikam
is still operating invisibly in the background. This might be intended but if
the startup operation takes long time, one might think digikam is not running
anymore which is false.

yes this is the current behavior.

Ideally, only the DB interface initialisation must be present in splash.

Currently we have too an album listing parse (not the album contents). The
album contents is delayed in progress manager when main GUI is show.

Sorry for commenting the closed bug:

@Gilles: So, do I understand correctly that the initial scanning of albums
actually scans the directories only? After boot, it takes some time before GUI
is shown (1379 dirs, up to one minute). Next start of digiKam is almost
immediate, I assume that the dirs are cached by the kernel already.

It probably depends on HDD and filesystem type, but yet, it would be good if
this directory parsing can be postponed to a later stage - the initial album
list can be taken from the database and it could be updated on the fly after
the directory structure is read.

The way to scan new image is delegate after than GUI is loaded. Also scan for
new item at startup option is back in Setup dialog. See all these changes in
5.1.0 release
