"scan for new items" always scans the entire collection

[VALÍK Robert]

Hello,

the 9.2.0 debug AppImage does not show the weird behavior. It correctly 
starts, scans for new items for a fraction of a second and is done. I 
also tried to refresh one existing folder and it was immediate without 
rewriting all  image metadata data (logs attached) to the DB like the 
Arch extra/digikam 9.1.0-6 does.
