Sentry Crash Report:

Description Roland Illig 2022-06-02 19:08:37 UTC 
SUMMARY
I am importing a photo collection of 100_000 photos, all in a single folder.
During this import, Digikam does not show the progress of the import in the progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
There is an entry in the progress bar named "Search new entries", but that progress bar is at 100%, so it cannot possibly represent the import, which currently is at 35_000 images out of 100_000 total.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import a folder containing 100_000 images.

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no useful information in the progress bar.

EXPECTED RESULT
The progress bar contains a task named "Importing images".
This task can be paused. At least as long as digikam constantly crashes during an import. (At least I hope that digikam crashes only during an import, and not during normal operation. I am still not done with the initial import.)

Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2022-06-02 20:16:46 UTC 
If you interrupted the first initial scan (digiKam closed) we no longer have the correct number of files to be scanned. For reasons of speed, we don't want to count all files on network drives every time, because it takes a long time and costs time unnecessarily. Just wait for the process to complete.
