digiKam freezes when scanning a new collection

[Simon Frei]

What makes you think that? This is also an issue when importing a folder
that only contains image files.
Pure speculation on my side: To me it seems that there is something
wrong with priority handling (however that is done). Finding new files,
which does happen in background, still influences other digikam
functionalities to the point where the UI freezes. This looks like the
background process takes all resources and any normal operations have to
wait, while it should be the other way around: Normal operations (e.g.
user interaction with GUI) should always get the resources it needs and
background process whatever resources are left.
