[digiKam-users] Network Library too slow and not reconnect

Thu Apr 23 01:58:41 BST 2020

I’ll do that. Have done before, it’s very easy. 
I just have to have some time.  

Yesterday I decided to empty my DK database and config and start from zero. 

On the initial config screen I setup my collection and I’d started scanning. It was quite fast. A small dialog showing the path currently being scanned. Took about 3 hours max (over Wi-Fi).  I thought the problem was fixed but after this initial scam, the interface was shown and the process of finding new items started from 0% and seemed frozen again. 

I’ll start it from console today and see if there’s some message 

Thanks
