            Bug ID: 345391
           Summary: digikam does not find the album when there is a bind
                    mount
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.8.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: alphsteiner at gmail.com

Here the problematic configuration:
 - the album is stored in the home directory, say ~/Photos;
 - /home is a standalone partition;
 - another directory of the home (say ~/Shared) is bind mounted in order to be
accessed by others. The command used is 'mount --bind ~/Shared /work/Share1'
 - /work is also a standalone partition.

With this configuration, digikam does not find the album when started and shows
nothing. Worst, after removing the bind mount and restarting digikam, it shows
the photos but *all the data are lost* (titles, legends, labels, etc...). We
can guess that something is wrong since it takes a while to start, like when it
sees a directory for the first time.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The album should be found in every situation, and maybe a backup done when it
is not found, otherwise you lost everything.
