           Summary: Rebuild thumbnails or 'scan for new images' should
                    work on just current folder
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.4.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Thumbnails
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: obiwan at jedi.com


Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

My photo library contains over 100,000 photos spread through over 1000
directories.  I frequently edit images in a different package while digikam is
open, and before I can use the new images in digikam, I must either wait for
digikam to recognize the updated version, or I must scan for new images or
update the thumbnails (depending on what I just did).  Performing either of
these operations on my entire collection takes forever.

It would be really great if there were options for these two tools to operate
on just the current folder, which is generally all I really need to have done. 
This would dramatically improve the time required to manage my photos!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Scan a large collection for new images, or rebuild thumbnails.

Actual Results:  
Go out to eat.  When I return, the operation is done.

Expected Results:  
Stand up and stretch.  When I sit down, the operation is done.
