Hello digikam community,
First of all, thank you for that great software. I love digikam and successfully moved from Adobe to an alternative stack and I love it.
I have recently set up my new system and also digikam with an existing database.
My photos are all located in a network folder which is mounted via samba. This was the exact same setup on my previous machine.
I have installed digikam and pointed it to my existing database files.
The network folder was successfully recognized and I can see all my photos with my settings, like grouping and whatnot.
Digikam however, is running a huge process “Find new items” over all my files ( 30k photos) even though it should already know their content and has an existing thumbnail database in place.
Could somebody explain what is going on under the hood?
