            Bug ID: 378112
           Summary: No progress bar while maint initializes
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Maintenance
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: forgivenbyjc at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Opening digikam5 from the command-line to see output.  When running maintenance
on a large number of albums, digikam seems to "hang" either at:
digikam.general: Using  1  CPU core to run threads
or
digikam.general: Creating a fingerprints task for generating fingerprints

Last time this took 00:36:35 for 2635 albums.

There is no feedback on the command-line and no visual feedback (progress bar)
in the GUI, also there is no HDD activity nor CPU activity.  I realize digikam
is probably doing something, but there is no indication of it.  Is there a cli
switch to see more output?

My suggestion would be to include whatever digikam does to initialize
maintenance within the progress bar or as a separate task on the progress bar
before the intended maintenance-to-be-performed's task.

Too, digikam is sluggish and unresponsive during this initialization process.
