Description Tung NGUYEN 2005-10-03 21:44:52 UTC

Version:           0.8.0-beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

After importing a Photo1.jpg in an Album which contains already a (different) Photo1.jpg (with the menu Album->Import->Add Images...), its thumbnail is not updated immediately and if Photo1.jpg was used 'As Album thumbnail' then its Album thumbnail is not updated immediately too.

I can confirm this on digiKam 0.8.1.
This could be confusing, user clicking on the overwrite button can think that images wasn't overwriten, because thumbnail wasn't updated.

Comment 2 Mikolaj Machowski 2007-08-12 22:51:25 UTC

Confirming for 0.9.3svn. Have to manually refresh or reenter album to replace old thumbnail.

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2008-03-19 12:46:55 UTC

Mik,

Are you the same problem with 0.9.3 or current svn implementation ?

Comment 4 Mikolaj Machowski 2008-04-03 18:41:24 UTC

Confirming for 0.9.4svn (ver. 793314)

After importing image with the same name:
a) thumbnail is properly shown only after reentering of album
b) if this image was selected for album thumbnail this is visible only after restart of digiKam

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2008-04-03 19:10:56 UTC

Thanks mik,

Marcel, it's another problem with KDirWatch or an AlbumManager race condition ?

I still can confirm this, thumbnails are not updated when importing images with an already used filename. Switching to another album and back will update the thumbnails in album icon view, but not the album thumbnail itself. After restarting digiKam the album thumbnail is updated, too.

Andi,

This still valid with 0.10.0 ?

Gilles

Comment 8 Andi Clemens 2008-12-04 15:45:01 UTC

Yes... just checked it.

Comment 9 Andi Clemens 2009-10-08 00:37:47 UTC

The thumbnail is now updated when importing into an album, but if the image that is overwritten was the album thumbnail, you still need to restart digiKam to see an effect.

Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2011-12-12 12:17:56 UTC

It still valid with 2.4.0 release ?

Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2012-01-25 13:43:02 UTC

Andi, 

can you check if this entry still valid with current implemntation from git/master ?

Comment 12 Varun Herale 2012-04-15 10:45:41 UTC

If a photo with same name is imported into an album, its thumbnail is updated immediately. This problem appears to be solved.

But if it is set as Album Thumbnail, then the Album Thumbnail alone is not updated until after digikam is restarted.

Comment 13 caulier.gilles 2013-12-04 17:01:56 UTC

I can confirm the pending problem from comment #12

Comment 14 caulier.gilles 2016-07-06 14:01:50 UTC

This problem still valid using last digiKam 5.0.0 ?

Gilles Caulier

Comment 15 caulier.gilles 2020-08-03 04:56:04 UTC

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published:

https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/

We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version.

Hi Varun,

digiKam 8.0.0 is out. Problem #2 listed in comment #12 still reproducible ?
