            Bug ID: 345643
           Summary: Option to only update digikam database for selected
                    partitions and directories at startup
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: hamhenrik at gmail.com

I take many pictures, they fill a double digit number of TB, distributed on
several disc partitions on several discs. Some of these discs are internal,
some external. Not all of these are mounted all the time.

Often the launch of Digikam takes very very long, because it wants to update
the entire database. It would be very handy if one could set a default "ignore"
command regarding database update, and then actively point toward the location
of the directories where an update regarding new images or deleted images are
wished by the user.  

That way digikam will in my case only need to handle a few thousand files at
startup, instead
of wasting time on controlling the status of an enormous number of image files,
some of 
which are  on storage devices not always mounted.

Besides this - many thanks for a very nice image editing progamme!

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Much faster launch of digikam. No removal/adding of images in database just
because some
discs are not always mounted.
