[Digikam-users] How to update photo collections?

[Kim]

When I first started with linux about this time last year I was using 
Ubuntu, I liked it but my laptop is getting old.  I was looking for 
something that was light on resources and moved to Bodhi.  It is built 
on Ubuntu but uses the Enlightenment desktop and comes bear bones.  I 
have 2 GB of RAM and with this I can edit photos and vids with out 
issues.  I like it because it also looks great while being low on resources.
How is Fedora for resources?

Ok back to DK, I deleted my Dropbox collection.  Then re added it.  
Trying to watch carefully what it's doing.  The blue progress bar again 
gets to 39% and says it's finished.  The text above it shows it's 
reached the last folder.  Yet I'm thinking it's NOT really done.

When I go and look at the Dropbox folder tree in DK, I see that although 
it's imported many of the folders, many of them are empty.  Checking the 
folder in my file window shows there ARE JPG images in there.  But it's 
not finishing the import to bring them all in.

I turned OFF the Dropbox app before doing this in case it was messing 
something up.  So I'm very puzzled. (sigh)

Yes if I add a new folder and images manually to my normal "photos" 
folder outside of DK it picks them up fine when I open DK.  I use DK to 
back up my images and so I can login to the website to access my files 
away from home.
