I fully admit it could be a setting or configuration I have messed up.  I have a very large library, if that helps understand.  

Problem: 

Use Import feature to import files from memory card. After downloading to the album(folder) I have selected. I can not see the images in the digiKam at all.  Previously, when I downloaded files, I would immediately be able to find them in the folder I saved them to.  They exist in the filesystem, but the DK database isn't reflecting they are there.  I even accidentally downloaded them twice so now I have duplicates of each one. 

Is there not a way to selectively look for new items in a specific album?  When I close and re-open digikam, it starts a new item search... but my library is pretty massive, so I don't know where it is searching..but it sits on 0% for a very long time. (I haven't seen it move yet).  Meanwhile, I still cannot access the files I just downloaded using digiKam without going straight to them in the filesystem and opening them in my external editor. 

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
