[Digikam-devel] Fingerprints got messed up on database change

Perhaps there was a collection scan running while you switched the parameters?
The database would be cleanly changed underneath the running collection scan,
but the scan itself would continue in the directory it was and suddenly begin 
to see files  not contained in the (new) database.
