Hi Gilles,

yes I have enabled "Scan at Startup", and the box with the database scan messages appears before the Splash-Screen. I have version 0.9.0 (stable, from suse rpms) and 0.9.1 svn.

I've stopped the times and it seems that the start time until database scan box appears depends on the mood my computer feels :-)

- when I start 0.9.0 for the first time after booting my computer with typing "digikam" into console there are no messages and it takes 50 seconds until the message box appears. There are no messages in console during that time.

- when I then start 0.9.1 svn with the start-digikam.sh script it takes only 5 seconds until that box appears.

- when I start 0.9.0 or 0.9.1 again the message box appears almost immediately.

However, sometimes it takes much longer also with 0.9.1 svn  (probably depending on what else my computer is doing at the same time or what parts are already loaded).

As said in my first post, I don't consider this wish as anything important, just thought it could be possible to move the display of the splash screen right to the beginning of the start routines of digikam - if you have too much time and nothing else to do :-))

But I have no complaints about digikam speed at all. Maybe its really just a matter of how my computer likes to work or not :-)

regards

Daniel
