What did you expect ? To remove the media while in use and lost data ? Seriously. This is a normal behavior... Gilles Caulier (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #1) > What did you expect ?

This is a normal behavior... > > Gilles Caulier Seriously, why have a specific removable media collection, without specific behaviours ? I am a software engineer, and I would pleased to join the developpment team to fixed some issues. I think that Digikam can reference photographs about a connected removable media (thumbnails, metadata, ...), and then release every ressources to it. The only needs to access then to the media is to display fullscreen the photographs or when editing. For example, I prefer to preview my shoots before importation. I would like to browse my SD card without the limitations of the importation view. I am used to quick edit (and cancel) some of my photographs to check their values. Another example, I would like to browse different referenced removable media while Digikam is running. I noticed your are a main contributor to Digikam. I am interested in documentation translation into french. I contacted the team, but without response up to now. Paul Presumably, the QFileSystemWatcher prevents the removal of the USB stick. The QFileSystemWatcher is used to detect external changes. I'm already thinking about not monitoring all folders anymore and making it configurable. But that's something for digiKam-6.1.x. One more note, I understand that they quickly add a USB collection and then remove it, etc. USB collection are designed in digiKam for permanent image collection on a USB drive, which sometimes are not available. But not as a constantly changing USB medium to browse what's available. Maik Paul, If i remember, to be able to manage media from Windows application require extra right from installation and to patch the Windows configuration database. This will be the hell to manage and increase the complexity to setup the installer and fight against the antivurus stuff... Another point, as Maik said, this require Windows API specific code. There is no Qt code as i know to do the job. So i vote for no... About the French translators team, did you check well if you contact the right guy. in all cases, the team must be availalble in IRC channel (as i contribute to KDE french translations 15 years ago (:=))). Best Gilles Caulier Git commit 8a2cbc6917d48bbc5d0b02b78d7bcda4176688cb by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 23/05/2019 at 19:10. Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. QFileSystemWatcher can now be disabled. The setting is on the collection page. The default is off.
