Thanks for the hint - I found the option and, while thinking about whether I 
really want the timestamp updated, finally decided that it might be best to 
not save metadata to the image files at all:)
That's the way my old tool did it and I am fine with it (as long as the sqlite 
file is backed up...). Or is it "best practice" to save it into the image 
files?

The warning/error message is still present. Although I do not observe any real 
problem with it, I'm still a bit concerned about it. Any suggestions, or has 
this maybe been fixed since digiKam 1.2.0? This is the message again:
Digikam::CollectionScanner::scanAlbum: Folder does not exist or is not 
readable:  "/foo/bar.jpg". Note it's complaining about the *folder*, but 
printing the path to a single *file*.

Thanks
