Not a bug, just suggesting an improvement. 

Scanning for new albums is slow. Very slow. And the only indication we have is a progress bar at the bottom of the screen (and the network traffic). For a network library it can easily take hours to days to scan, and what's worse, you never know exactly what folders are being scanned. Right now, in my case, for a library that was already fully scanned before, progress is still at 4% after a couple of hours.

It would be great if, when opening the progress bar, you could get a more detailed view and see what folders and files are being scanned at that very moment. I know you can see that if you start digikam from a console in linux, but there's no way to see it in windows.

Thanks for your attention and keep up the good work!
