--- Comment #3 from iwannaber...@gmail.com --- I think there's currently a small inconsistency in Digikam. You can currently enable or disable the option to scan new folders on startup, but you cannot disable the fact that elements from the database will be cleaned automatically if they are not found anymore (well, at least in windows). I think an option to only clean missing folders manually should also be on the settings or tools menu, as there already is an option to scan new folders manually. The Kodi media player works like this, by default it never scans or deletes anything unless you explicitly tell it to do so, but you can also configure it to scan and clean the database automatically on startup. Picasa, on the other hand, adds and removes pictures automatically on the background, all the time, and you cannot disable it, but if pictures are located in a network share and it becomes unavailable, they are hidden in the album list (but not removed from the db) and reappear immediately as the network share becomes available again, without needing to re-scan folders. But only for network shares, and it detects them automatically (but only in windows). I don't know what is the philosophy behind this project in this regard, but in any case, Digikam shouldn't delete a few hundreds of GB of data without at least some confirmation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
