           Summary: digikam shows unknown icon when moving images to other
                    directory
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0-rc2
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rfkd at fietze-home.de


Version:           0.10.0-rc2 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When moving images inside digikam to another directory, digikam first seems to
move the image files, then it modifies the database. When a user scrolls around
in the source directory while this happens, the images to be moved or currently
beeing moved show up with an "unknown" icon.

This problem might not show up on (very) fast machines or small collections. On
my box, with just two 500MHz CPUs, and with about 12000 images (almost all of
them have multiple tags) in 350 subdirectories, this intermediate state takes
quite some seconds.

See attachment for a snapshot of that situation.

I assume this is caused by the new method of digikam using inotify or something
comparable detecting changes in the image directories, even if caused by
digikam itself?
