Update images when external file is created

[Erick Moreno]

The only way to avoid all the effort to rebuild tumbs and still see the new
image on Digikam is:

- Press F5
- wait the finding new items process finish
- when the rebuild tumbs process start
- stop it.

Is cumbersome, but is better than wait 4 or 5 minutes to a complete rebuild
on the folder.


Devs, there ir no way to separete de "refresh" action in two independent
steps: Find new items and rebuild thumbs?
I that way I could press F5 if I want a full refress or something like Ctrl
+ F5 if I just want that digikam look for new items.

Thanks
