Incidentally it happens that I start digiKam while the network device containing my major collection is not mounted. Digikam removes whatever is not mounted from the list. Not from Settings | Condfigure Digikam | Collections. After mount, digiKam detects the collection is there, and starts a complete scan as if it is rebuilding the database. In my case over tens of thousands of images. Which takes at least an hour. This should not be necessary imho. I think it did not do so in version 4.x.
It's the July 2017 prerelease I was using. Replaced it by the Aug 27 version, but did not retry. Theo
Same problem with the Aug 27 2017 release.
Problem is not reproducible here. The mount point has also been added as a network collection under digiKam? Maik
Created attachment 108013 [details] attachment-13843-0.html Good question, Maik, No it isn't. It's a local collection. When version 5 came, it seemed to have lost everything in use until that moment. So I reconfigured. I may have thought it made no difference. The file browsing menus are identical anyway, asking for the mount point. Come to think of it, the mount point is also a local directory, but when nothing mounted there, empty. I will add a collection on removable shares, and when next remove the local collection. Or should I remove it first and next add the network share?

If the collection is established under network, digiKam assumes that it is not always available. The thumbnails are retained when the network connection is lost. When trying to open an image, comes a tooltip that the connection to the network must be reconnected. Maik
makes sense. What is the right order to fix it? +- or -+? Theo
I made the change, photo's are there as usual. I trust the shares work now as intended. Thanks a lot, especially for the quick help, Theo
Checked database is still there. The pop-up on doubleclick stays too short to read. You need click and a half to read it. Thanks again, Theo
