Hello,

Could you, please, add a new feature for kphotoalbum ?
I'd be glad to run it like:
kphotoalbum --scan-new
for checking if new pictures appeared in the directory and scanning it, then exitting.

Regards

What would be a possible use case for this? It seems quite not useful to me...

A command line option to search for files on startup was added for version 5.2:

A command line option to startup, then save the db and exit was added for version 6.1.0:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/kphotoalbum/-/commit/ec20490dce3e5d27f5f9c03a1aaf7f260ad0166d

The user can combine these command line options to achieve the requested feature:
kphotoalbum --search --save-and-quit
