Update images when external file is created

[Andrey Goreev]

I think it is in Settings in Metadata.
It's same section where Lazy synchronization is.
Sorry I am not in front of my computer right now.

I recall having same problems in Windows long time ago but I don't think it happens on Linux. Or maybe my workflow just changed...

Hi guys,

My workflow includes some editions using external programs (usualy gimp) while I'm selecting and rating images.

The problem is, when I save a new file from the external editor on the same folder I'm working, digikam don't recognize this image imediatly (like it does when I create a new file using showphoto). I need to press F5 to force digikam to rebuild ALL thumbs and finally be able to tag or do any work with the new file inside Digikam.

When working on folders with many (2k) imagens, this task takes some minutes in my machine and is really annoing. 

So, there is any faster way to make Digikam recognize new image inside the folder I'm working? Why is so different create a new file with showfoto and any other external program?

Thank you guys.
