    Replying to myself with the solution.<br>
    <br>
    Following the remark from Gilles, I checked the libexiv2 version in
    ubuntu 15.04. It is version 0.24 (package
    libexiv2-13_0.24-ubuntu1_amd64.deb  So I downloaded version 0.23
    (package libexiv2-12_0.23-ubuntu1_amd64.deb) and installed it.<br>
    You can not uninstall 0.24, as there are many dependencies to it. So
    I took a shortcut and removed the link from libexiv2.so.13 to
    libexiv2.so.13.0.0 and replaced it with a link to
    /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.12.0.0<br>
    ls -al libexiv2*<br>
    libexiv2.so.13 -> /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.12.0.0<br>
    libexiv2.so.13.0.0<br>
    <br>
    I restarted digikam and this time I was able to scan all items. This
    clearly proves a bug in libexiv2 0.24. Hopefully 0.25 arrives
    quickly and solves this.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks everyone for your help and especially Gilles!<br>
    Regards,<br>
    Bert<br>

      Hi Gilles,<br>
      <br>
      <br>
      indeed there are videos. Short clips taken with the digital camera
      or phone. <br>
      But sofar digikam has always been able to scan those.<br>
      Come to think of it, I did upgrade from ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 in
      the last couple of weeks. <br>
      Could that mean libexiv2 has been upgraded and the new libexiv2
      version includes this problem, but not the older one?<br>
      Does that in turn mean downgrading to an older version would make
      sense?<br>
      <br>
      A newer version would of course be welcome also. What does near
      future mean in this case? Coming days/weeks or maybe months?<br>
      I noticed on the exiv2 site that they don't release very often.<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
      <br>
      Ber<br>

                    Subject: [Digikam-users] scanning for new entries -
                    stuck after 89% (Win7 32bit) <br>
                    <br>
                    Hi,<br>
                    I am using Digikam 4.10 on Windows 7 (32bit).<br>
                    <br>
                    If I start digikam with my picture-HD attached, it
                    will start the<br>
                    scanning of new entries. But it always stops at 89%.<br>
                    Digikam is still functioning, but it is using about
                    50% of the processor<br>
                    power - so the whole system gets sluggish.<br>
                    <br>
                    If I start Digikam without the HD and plug it in
                    later, all is fine.<br>
                    <br>
                    I use another program to copy my pictures on the HD
                    (because of the<br>
                    importbug which is still there...).<br>
                    So this thing is really annoying for me. I have to
                    refresh (F5) every<br>
                    folder manually :-(<br>
                    <br>
                    Any help.<br>
                    <br>
                    Thanks.<br>
                    <br>
                    Best, Fabian<br>
