SUMMARY When I drag images from an explorer folder into a Digikam album no thumbnails are shown, not even after refreshing the album repeatedly. Only after I close and reopen Digikam and execute a refresh they become visible. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open an album in Digikam and a folder using Explorer 2. Drag images from the folder into the Digikam album 3. Refresh the Digikam album OBSERVED RESULT No new thumbnails visible EXPECTED RESULT Thumbnails of dragged images visible SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: W10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Just tested again on Windows 10. It works without problems. The monitoring of the folders does not have to be active and it is also not necessary to refresh the album manually. The images appear immediately in the digiKam album view. Download DebugView from Microsoft. Start it and perform a drag & drop action and post the log from DebugView. Maik

I was unable to reproduce the issue. When I first wanted to do it I discovered that a large portion of one of the albums had disappeared from the database after Digikam had been idle for a few hours (it was the second time it happened at (about) the same place. After I did a complete rescan I couldn't reproduce the issue anymore. I attach the DebugView log. It generated a lot of messages; I don't know if they are of use.
There are relatively few messages from digiKam. But you also have broken images in your collection whose JPEG headers start with zero bytes. This can also be a defective hard drive. Check this image as an example: N:/Pictures Margriet/Afbeeldingen/Afrika reis/DSC03155.JPG Maik
