SUMMARY The current "Find new items" task provides almost no details about what is going no. There is no actual indication of progress. (the progress bar stays at 0 until the process is done) The task is typically running for a long time. Several minutes when there are no actual changes and sometimes hours when there are actual new photos or significant changes in the collection. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start DK 2. In the status bar, click the up-arrow button "show detailed progress window" OBSERVED RESULT the window that is shown contains no actual detailed progress. EXPECTED RESULT The window should show actual details about the progress that will give the user an idea about how long this is going to take. Ideally, there will be a usable progress bar that will actually progress while the task is running as well as an estimated time left. I understand that due to the nature of the task (checking if there are new items), it might not be knowable how long it is going to take. However, it is definitely possible to tell the user *some* details. For example: * how many changes have been found so far * how many pictures are in the collection currently, how many new have been found so far * how many locations are left to check SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: MacOS Seqouia KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2
In fact the amount of info are dispatched in the Terminal. If you run digiKam from a MAC Console, with the debug info activated, you will seen plenty of details. https://www.digikam.org/contribute/#macos-host Of course it's not user friendly...
