Thumbnails and removable storage

[Matt & Lek]

Sorry Maik,
I missed your response as my emails got filed incorrectly.
Everything is set up correctly, USB media attached, thumbnails generated etc. I just discovered the problem, and it is a regression in 8.3.0.
Previously you had asked me to download 8.3.0 to resolve a separate UTC date issue. I continued to use this version and this one has this problem.
With 8.2.0, you could unplug the USB drive and the thumbnails still show. It doesn't even have the performance problem of rendering the thumbnails.
So something in 8.3.0 broke this, I'm back to 8.2.0.

 For a removable media collection, the thumbnails must still remain in the 
collection and be visible.
Check the digiKam collection settings to see whether the external collection 
has actually been added as a removable medium collection or is still entered 
in this section.
What kind of database are you using?
