<div>Thanks for the tip Gilles,<br>

I started an install in a new User account. It has been running
now for about 6 hours with the "Scanning collections ....". I've
about 200GB of photos. How long should a new installation (fresh
collection) take with default options in the installation? <br>

<div>Tip : create a new account and init digiKam with a fresh
collection to see if problem is reproducible. Perhaps it's a
problem with older 4.x settings (we have already a report
about).</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFF99" text="#000000"> Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm a newbie on this list.<br>
<br>
I installed a new version of digikam (was 4.1.0, now
5.1.0) on my OSX OS.<br>
Starting for the first time, a pop-up message came which
said "Scanning collections, please wait ..." and then
"Preparing collection scan ...", where it hangs
indefinitely.<br>
<br>
Sometimes it just crashes at start-up.<br>
<br>
Is there a problem with digikam 5.1.0 and OSX 10.11.6?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
PinguMann<br>
