[digiKam-users] Refresh not working

More on my problem with 5.9 with refresh not finding new items in a 
folder when either saving from GIMP or Darktable or indeed copying 
images from an SD card using a file manager (dolphin in my case).

I started digikam from a console and got these messages when doing a 
refresh:-

digikam.general: Using  4  CPU core to run threads
digikam.database: No itemShortInfo could be retrieved from the database 
for image "IMGP0001.JPG"
digikam.database: No itemShortInfo could be retrieved from the database

digikam.general: Action Thread run  1  new jobs
digikam.general: Cancel Main Thread
digikam.general: One job is done

Please note that digikam has read the folder shown and displayed the 
existing photos which were in it to start with. Restarting digikam does 
indeed show the new photos OK when it does the initial find of new items 
at start up.

For some reason or other I keep seeing the following message

digikam.database: Folder does not exist or is not readable: 
"/home/stuart/Work/Graphics11/Pentax-K-70/2019/02"

the path displayed is wrong in that it should read /Graphics1/ and not 
as shown /Graphics11/

I am guessing that there is an error in the database somewhere but I 
have no idea where it might be or how it might have come about. I also 
guess that this might be the cause of the failure to find new items.

How do I fix it easily as the database has several 1000's of photos in 
it and a total rebuild with take ages?
