            Bug ID: 305359
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Advanced rename of lots of images is slow
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: sven.heithecker at web.de
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Advanced Rename
           Product: digikam

I often have to rename a lot of images. I noticed that the renaming function
gets extremly slow after the 1st ~20 images, e.g it needs several minutes to
rename ~340 images.  While performing the rename operation, digiKam
continuously tries to update the album/folder view.
I am unsure if this matters, but DigiKam is configured to use "SQLite" internal
data base.
I admit that this is not really a bug, but I think that renaming should be
faster, maybe by disabling the album update until the renaming has finished.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create several hundreds of images in one folder/album.
2. Rename all images using the "rename" function including the "###"
placeholder into the new file name.
Actual Results:  
Renaming takes several minutes, while digiKam continuously tries to update the
album/folder view.

Expected Results:  
The renaming should be faster, maybe by disabling the album update until the
renaming has finished.
