rating missing in thumbnails

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

Hello Frederic, Maik & Gilles,

FWIW, on my Windows 11 laptop, the DK setting "Monitor the albums for 
external changes" is checked. When I edit the rating of a jpeg using the 
Windows explorer, the new rating is instantaneously updated in DK, 
without my doing anything. I couldn't find "rescan file when files are 
modified".
