[Digikam-users] Digikam needs about 10 minutes to start

[Manfred]

I have the same problem. Digikam needs a lot of time checking for new 
pictures. If I switch this off in preferences (not looking for new 
pictures), it's starting quite fast. 
I am not very happy with that, as checking for new pictures is actually 
neccesary, if you directly put any pictures in your collection folder. 
Otherwise they dont appear in your collection. After doing this I let 
digikam restart for the search and afterwards switch that feature off again. 
If I have connected all external collections it takes 5 to 10 minutes as 
well.
