            Bug ID: 360485
           Summary: digikam rescans image collection after change of time
                    zone
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Chakra
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database-Scan
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: knut.hildebrandt at gmx.de

I'm not sure it this is a bug or a feature, what I know it happens already for
ages, at least version 3.x.

Every time I change time zone - e.g. from UTC to Central European time - on my
system digikam starts rescanning my image collection even though neither the
database nor the image folder have been touched or changed. This is a bit of a
nuisance since with big image collections it can take a while.

BTW, both my image folder as well as the database are on an external USB
harddrive.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change time zone
2. connect harddrive
3. start digikam - you better do it from a terminal to see what digikam -> see
this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360474 

Actual Results:  
Digikam scans the whole collection again.

Expected Results:  
Digikam should just start in the normal way it does without changing time zone.

I'm not sure when I recognized this behaviour the first time, but I think after
changing from version 2.x to 3.x.
