It's my first mail in this thread, so, "which previous mail"? :^)
My reply was to Andrey Goreev (the OP)

For the record, I agree with what you stated as Digikam defaults in your 
earlier mail (Sat, 14 Jan 2017 11:10:12 +0000 (UTC)):
Update file timestamps          : YES
Always show original images : YES
