--- Comment #2 from Jim Shipman <JimShip at sbcglobal.net> ---
I'm using 2.5.0, but this bug has been present ever since I started using
digikam back in the 1.somthing days.

What I do is to select Tools->Rebuild Thumbnails, then I click on Scan.  I see
the progress window open and I see it rebuilding many files (maybe 100 out of
66,000).  If I then immediately go and do the same thing again.  It rebuild the
same files over again.  When I pick out a bunch of the files that are
rebuilding over and over and find them on my system, then I see that each of
then appears with the same name, but in different directories.  They seem also
to be different photos, but have the same filename because my camera had its
count reset and it generates new photos that have duplicate names for photos
already on my system in different folders.  I don't actually know if this has
anything to do with it, but that is what I noticed.
