Description Geoff King 2008-08-07 03:31:24 UTC
Version:           0.10.0-beta3 (rev.: 843335) (using KDE 4.1.0)

I copied a folder of photos "vista-pics" into my "TEST" album.  As expected the photos are immediately detected as indicated in the terminal output (below).  However, they do not show up in the GUI until a re-start of digikam. I can also usually trigger it to show the new album if I go into Settings>Configure Digikam and make a change and hit OK, which must do some sort of reset. 

digikam(7519): Adding item  "Waterfall.jpg"
digikam(7519): "/home/gsking/Pictures/TEST/vista-pics/Waterfall.jpg"  : JPEG file identified
DateTime => Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal =>  QDateTime("Fri May 27 08:15:08 2005") 

DateTime => Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal =>  QDateTime("Fri May 27 08:15:08 2005") 

digikam(7519): Adding item  "Winter Leaves.jpg"
digikam(7519): "/home/gsking/Pictures/TEST/vista-pics/Winter Leaves.jpg"  : JPEG file identified
DateTime => Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal =>  QDateTime("Mon Jan 17 06:43:52 2005") 

DateTime => Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal =>  QDateTime("Mon Jan 17 06:43:52 2005") 

Style reset requested.
