[Digikam-users] digikam & disk I/O on netbook

[Julien T]

Hello,

As I use digikam on a netbook, it's pretty ressource intensive, mostly
for the disk.
is there a way to ask digikam NOT to scan (for meta or thumbnails)
some images (for example RAW/NEF or above a fixed size like 5MB -
panoramic) ?
And also, sometimes, I didn't ask anything and digikam starts to
consume a lot of I/O. a way to know if it is "normal" ?
could some operations be "ionice-ed" ?

Thanks.
Best regards,

Julien
