[digiKam-users] Avoid full rescan if a network collection isn't available?

[Andrey Goreev]

I changed it to 'network' again and looks like it worked this time.
The application crashed once after I checked the box "monitor album for
changes" but I did not catch any bug traces unfortunately.
I will see if it works any differently now.

Thanks,
Andrey
