[Digikam-users] Duration of a full rescan of a collection?

[Sveinn í Felli]

Hi,

After some serious reorganization of my image folders, Digikam hung 
during ages rescanning the whole collection. Killed the processes, 
relaunched Digikam from command line and saw some messages about locked 
tables [1].
The UI appears, but is terribly slow, and item-count is zero in the 
changed/moved/renamed albums. Apparently NewItemFinder is doing its job. 
Eight hours passed but still not much of a progress.

Tried Digikam 4.12 (KDE 4.14.2) both from LinuxMint 17.2 Cinnamon 
(ppa:philip5) and Opensuse 13.2 KDE, collection is on a local 7600 RPM 
HDD, OS on a SSD, and system is a respectable i7-4790K CPU @ 4x4.00GHz 
with 32Gb RAM.

So, what amount of time is necessary to rescan a collection with ~80k 
items totalling ~180Gb ? Does anyone have an experience ?

Thanks,
