Bug ID: 499616
Summary: Ability to load/unload collections and their databases
(Suggestion)
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Albums-Engine
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If working with large collections, which are containing independent content,
the only way to change a collection is, to remove one and add the other, then
to rebuild the database ...
This takes time and is almost impossible with large collections.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Remove a collection from the settings dialog.
2. Add anothe one.
3. Rebuild the database.
OBSERVED RESULT
First at all, there is no description, how to rebuild the database ... or at
least I didn't find it.
With a large amount of pictures (100'000 or more) this takes days, even on a
strong machine with 24 cores (5GHz), 128 GB of RAM, SSDs ...
This has to be done everytime, one wants to work with a different collection.
EXPECTED RESULT
I just would like to unload a collection (or disable it ...) and load another
one, including another database.
(Similar to calibre ebook management, which allows just to select another
database ...)
The benefit would be:
- smaller databases and image libraries
- higher efficiency
- higher speed to find and compare something
