digikam & disk I/O on netbook

Julien T
Hello,

As I use digikam on a netbook, it's pretty ressource intensive, mostly
for the disk.
is there a way to ask digikam NOT to scan (for meta or thumbnails)
some images (for example RAW/NEF or above a fixed size like 5MB -
panoramic) ?
And also, sometimes, I didn't ask anything and digikam starts to
consume a lot of I/O. a way to know if it is "normal" ?
could some operations be "ionice-ed" ?

Thanks.
Best regards,

Julien

note: I already unchecked "don't look for new elements on starting"

I don't know if it could be the same thing, but in the past, I already get some Digikam "half-freeze" due to a 100% CPU-I/O use...

But, as I not ever test the beta 2.0.

I can just says it was happening when I set a lot of RAW image's metadatas (wrote in the file), some times it could occur after changing the rate of a picture immediately after setting this rate a first time.

But this behaviour was quite rare.
