           Summary: if running maintenance, "rebuild thumbnails", digiKam
                    hangs endlessly
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

>From time to time, I do maintennce on my pics collection. 

If I run "rebuild thumbnails", digiKam hangs (more than half a day) without any
progress.

I set "skip existing pictures" (or so) to save time

Other submenus within maintenance tool seem to work properly

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start digiKam
2. run maintenance, rebuild all thumbnails (skip checked directories or so)
3. do something nice: otherwise you'd to wait endlessly to finish the thumbnail
process.
Actual Results:  
- hangers
- waste of time, but not success
- meagre usability beacuse of missing feedback information from
sub-processes!!!

Expected Results:  
thumbnails-maintenace should rung run through reliably in background, using as
less as possible resources
