--- Comment #8 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> --- I think the problem is the QFileSystemWatcher. Actually, a well thought-out idea and facility in digiKam, a file that is modified or deleted outside, is updated right in the database. If the connection is lost on Windows, digiKam is notified that there was a change in the directory and can not find any images anymore and remove them from the database. It actually seems that under Linux the QFileSystemWatcher does not send a message, even if a removable medium is removed hard. My 3 ideas: 1. We remove QFileSystemWatcher kommplett under Windows, which also gives it further problems and we have installed workarounds (locked directories) 2. We only add new items or update changed ones, but do not delete any. 3. We test before we delete items or directories from the database, if a hidden file in the root path is still readable.
