[digiKam-users] Error updating from 7.1 to 7.2.0

I am a new user (Windows 10) who uploaded/installed 7.1.? about two weeks ago.  I uninstalled that version and installed 7.2.0 this morning per the prompts under the Install 7.2.0 executable.  I uploaded the binary files associated with redeye and facial recognition – all per the prompts and automated process.  The program seemed to be working normally but when I scrolled though the open folder I was in (Timeline sort mode), the program locked.  I waited a few minutes then force quit.  I now get the following messages when I try to restart it (the Red X message overlays the Scanning Collections one).  Please help.

\Thanks,

Tom

Subject: [digiKam-users] Sync of new files isn't happening (7.2.0)

 

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?
