Hello, I am continuing this thread here: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/Lazy-sync-in-5-6-0-td4696891.html I don't think Lazy Synchronization is working. Very easy to reproduce: 1. Select 100 or 200 images 2. Add a title or a caption to all of them 3. Press Apply Expected behavior: digiKam isn't doing anything right way waiting for user to "Apply pending changes to metadata" Actual behavior: digiKam rescanning the images and regenerating thumbnails. Program is not responding while this happening which slows down the workflow. Terminal looks like this for each file: First this: digikam.dimg: "/mnt/data/FamilyPictures/2017/2017-07/2017-07-03/20170703_115517_117.DNG" : RAW file identified digikam.database: Finishing took 683 ms digikam.database: Scanning took 2068 ms digikam.database: Finishing took 579 ms digikam.database: Scanning took 1820 ms digikam.database: Finishing took 471 ms then this: kipi.plugins: KIPI host send thumb ( QSize(256, 170) ) for QUrl("file:///mnt/data/FamilyPictures/2017/2017-07/2017-07-03/20170703_115517_117.DNG") digikam.general: Received new thumbnail for url QUrl("file:///mnt/data/FamilyPictures/2017/2017-07/2017-07-03/20170703_115517_117.DNG") . My view is Digikam::DImagesListView(0x555ed9a0f8a0)
Problem with Lazy Synchronization is not reproducible. Lazy Synchronization writes only to the files if the sync button pressed on the status bar. Or when you close at end digiKam. Maik

I can confirm the rescanning, which I believe is completely unnessecary in this case. I am not running digikam in a terminal, so I don't know what digikam prints.
