Description Roland Illig 2022-06-02 19:01:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a photo collection of 100_000 photos, all in a single folder.
Several of the files are duplicates, I want to clean them up.
Digikam is still importing the images, it is taking 2 days already.
As long as this import is running, I cannot search for duplicates.
This makes up for a bad first impression of Digikam.

OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking on "Update fingerprints" does nothing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Since 33_000 of the 100_000 images are already imported, I expect that I am able to search for duplicates within these images already.
Of course I might miss those duplicates that are not yet imported, but at least I can start right now.
