Thanks for your replies!

> Do you have a large picture library that it is indexing?

I do have a large library. The number of entries in my database are a
bit confusing:
e.g.:
780,941 ImageCopyright
636,169 ImageInformation
223,925 ImageProperties
615,427 Images
178,070 ImageTags
244,814 Thumbnails (3,5 GiB)
244,484 UniqueHashes
total: 3,8 GiB

360,000 files on my NAS
Actually I don't believe, that digikam is re-indexing. I didn't asked it
to do that. Indeed there are new pice added by the NAS, that is indexing
and creating five thumbnails of each photo. These thumbnails are stored
in @eadir named sub-directories for each photo. In the last hours of
start-up procedure I did not see any changes in the digikam database.
The first time when I had created the database with about 80,000 photos
it took digikam only a few hours to create the entries of the database.

No, I did not use that function. But I planned to use it in the future.
The database's table Searches has three entries.
_Current_ ( Search_View | Time_Line | Map ) _Search_

Maybe i have to wait until the NAS finished indexing. Or I will drop the
table and let digikam re-index all folders again.

By the way: Since I am using mysql for digikam, every time I create a
new tag I have to wait five to ten minutes until digikam works again.
Writing an existing tag of my database to one picture, takes one second.

Thanks again,
Ben
