Description julien.t43+kde 2011-07-23 16:48:39 UTC
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Computer-intensive operations should be possible outside of gui like
- scanning for new images and meta
- creating thumbnails
- updating either of them
- synchronizing metadata

so it could be included in a shell script like
$ digikam --update-dir $HOME/Images



Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
do some heavy operations in shell

Sound like a low level DB interface acess from command line...

not really sure if scanning file, generating thumbnails, batch operations, export are really only DB.
Comment 3 julien.t43+kde 2011-11-13 14:52:38 UTC
Following this thread "[Digikam-users] Some questions about
digikam4.db"
http://osdir.com/ml/digikam-users/2011-11/msg00085.html
http://osdir.com/ml/digikam-users/2011-11/msg00100.html

it would be nice if it was possible to add to maintenance db script (vacuum/integrity) the update (or rebuild) of thumbnails and hash.
Comment 4 julien.t43+kde 2012-07-07 00:24:07 UTC
AFAIC, no change for 2.6.0
