I was wrong: the error occurs also without moving a file, but it seems 
it takes longer to appear and it shows different:

Instead of moving the files I now marked them with a star (to move them 
later), but after some click to open in editor - colors->bw - cancel, 
clicking on the next image... etc... the next image is not loaded in 
editor, it shows the one of before. The cursor turns into "wait" when 
hovering the menu. I can now close the window. But I can't do anything 
more. Opening an image always still shows the last one... However I 
don't have to kill digikam, I can close it normally and restart it...
