I also do *not* think that blinking is a good way to tell the user something 
is happening. I am personally not aware of any application that uses a 
blinking text for this purpose. This is always done by either a progress bar 
or simply by changing the cursors shape.  Since the user is probably not 
interested to know if the displayed image is extraced from the preview 
section or from the original image it would make no sense to make digikam 
behave differently in these two situations. The user I guess, simply wants to 
see the photo as fast as possible.
