Problem exporting images to local computer

[Maik Qualmann]

If a network collection is not available, you will still see the thumbnails in 
digiKam. Because these come from the database. However, you won't be able to 
open a preview if you double-click on a thumbnail. A tooltip will then appear 
indicating that the storage location is not available.
