Description Axel Krebs 2013-03-30 13:42:40 UTC

I added yesterday 1444 pics (1/2 NIKON raw NEF-format, 1/2 NIKON jpgs)
Since then digiKam is busy to "search for new entries" (GERMAN: "Neue Einträge suchen")

This is not an import progress rather than interference issue between KDE and digiKam (my guess).

What happens? 
How to avoid these extrem "search-new-entries"-times?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. adding pics to a directory, which is already selected in digiKam settings s a directory. 
2. when observing Task manager in Kubuntu, I see, that needed memory is huge- now about 2 GB, whereas needed memory was less than 900 MB, as long as all pics were located within one top-directøry. 
3.
Actual Results:  
Unsatisfying slow work performance. 


Expected Results:  
"Incorporating new pics" should be a background process not harming productive work time.

Since yesterday, I have to wait for the pics I took yesterday. 

This is definitely not "using opensource and working like a professional!!

If I can provide, please, let me know!

In the meanwhile, I updated on digiKam 3.1
When importing (incorpüorating) 2646 pics, it just took about 2" 50'

Besides, digiKam uses only CPU between 15 and 22 %, whereas in the
previous version pic importing was extremely slowly. It rather looked
like as a "hanging process".
