Hi,

I have to say I agree with Daniel. Starting digikam the first time can take a long time before getting some startup dialog (on a slow computer with around 10'000 pictures, it's more than 30s).
Daniel: once digiKam has be launched a 1st time, it's much faster because linux caches disk access in memory...
If digiKam has been compiled with debug and is run from command line, you can see something, but otherwise you just have to wait.
It could be a problem : I already saw somebody from my family clicking 3 or 4 times because nothing was displayed. And after one minute, you get as many instances :)

IMHO, it would be great to display the splash screen at the very beginning, then you can still show the scan window above the splash screen...
