[Digikam-devel] [Bug 199394] New: request: "regenerate folder thumbnails" menu item

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199394

           Summary: request: "regenerate folder thumbnails" menu item
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ahlgren at mit.edu


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

There currently exists the following item:

[Tools Menu] > [Rebuild All Thumbnails]

I would humbly suggest another one, [Generate all ungenerated thumbnails].

Use case: You have a few folders with hundreds of pictures (e.g. vacation
pictures), and you don't want to spend an hour babysitting the application for
an hour by doing:

- scroll down
- wait 1min for 50 thumbnails to generate
- scroll down
- wait 1min for 50 thumbnails to generate
- ...

Yes, one could select [Rebuild All Thumbnails], but this might take an entire
day of severely wasted processing speed and disk thrashing for large
collections.
