            Bug ID: 502702
           Summary: Improve "Find new items" progress indications
    Classification: Applications
           Product: digikam
           Version: 8.6.0
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database-Scan
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: thomasdn at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The current  "Find new items"  task provides almost no details about what is
going no. There is no actual indication of progress. (the progress bar stays at
0 until the process is done)
The task is typically running for a long time. Several minutes when there are
no actual changes and sometimes hours when there are actual new photos or
significant changes in the collection.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start DK
2. In the status bar, click the up-arrow button "show detailed progress window"


OBSERVED RESULT
the window that is shown contains no actual detailed progress.

EXPECTED RESULT
The window should show actual details about the progress that will give the
user an idea about how long this is going to take.
Ideally, there will be a usable progress bar that will actually progress while
the task is running as well as an estimated time left.

I understand that due to the nature of the task (checking if there are new
items), it might not be knowable how long it is going to take. However, it is
definitely possible to tell the user *some* details. 
For example: 

* how many changes have been found so far
* how many pictures are in the collection currently, how many new have been
found so far
* how many locations are left to check
