            Bug ID: 303693
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: Inability to remove orphaned thumbnails in album
                    through GUI.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: jrsofty at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Albums GUI
           Product: digikam

When DigiKam has scanned an album and found images, and then those images are
deleted from the folder from outside DigiKam, then the database still keeps the
entry. Rebuilding the thumbnails does nothing to rid the database of the entry.
The only way to do this with out editing the database directly, is to remove
the album and re-add it but that's not very efficent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scan an album.
2. Close DigiKam 
3. Open File system and delete an image from the scanned album directly.
4. Start DigiKam again and view the album. The thumbnail is still there but,
the file behind it is no longer available.
5. Attempting to delete the thumbnail from DigiKam now throws an error that the
file doesn't exist, but the thumbnail is still present.
6. Rebuild the thumbnails for the album. Afterward the thumbnail is gone but
there is still a square showing where it should be and the entry is still
there.


Expected Results:  
Either, when I attempt to delete the thumbnail, and the file is no longer
present then the thumbnail should be removed as well, or when I rebuild the
thumbnails for the album and the file is no longer present then the entry
should be removed from the database.
