Hi Maik,

I've encounter another issue, but I believe the cause is same so I'm not
creating new ticket but posting it here. Below are the steps:

1, prepare a not-very-fast environment, like mine, photo files are in SMB
server, connected by 5G wifi
2, add some big collection/photos. on my scenario it's a 600G+ photos, already
added into Digikam collections
2.1, when I say "already added", I mean if I open Digikam, do nothing, and exit
Digikam, the process will end soon after main window disappears, this is
normal.("Scan for new item at starup" option is disabled)
3, add another collection over SMB, the new collection/folder contains no
files, or only 1 file

here's the problem:
4, After adding, Digikam's status is indicating "Scan for new items", and this
lasts a long time. However, my new collection is empty or just 1 file,
shouldn't take that much of time
5, I couldn't wait and then I clicked "stop icon button", and "Aborting..."
shows for some seconds, then, another session of "Scan for new items" started,
also it lasts for a very long time
6, I still couldn't wait, so I clicked "stop icon button" again, "Aborting..."
shows for some seconds, and then status bar indicated "No active process"
7, Now, the new collestion is not listed in "Collection" tab
8, Now I close Digikam, but the process remains. I check `smbstatus` on my SMB
server, folders of old collections are being read
9, I terminated Digikam process and opened Digikam again, my new collection is
still not listed. I guess it's due to the "scan" wasn't done earlier

In summary, 
1, Why are there two sessions of "Scan for new items"? (and one "hidden
session" even after I close Digikam)
2, Could it display more info, like "Scan for new items (path/file)"?
3, Why it needs to scan existing folder when I just add a new one. This doesn't
make sense. If everytime I just add a new collection/folder and it needs hours
to re-scan old files, it's too much time consuming :-(
4, Hopefully the process should be terminated right after I quit the program

Thanks,
Kane
