ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2020-04-30 04:26:17 UTC 
The monitoring of the albums for external changes can be configured in newer digiKam versions. The default setting is deactivated for various reasons. Activate the option "Monitor albums for external changes" in the digiKam settings under collections.
