Bug ID: 458820
Summary: digiKam should warn before scanning Placeholder/Cloud
files
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Files
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mwisni...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On Windows, OneDrive uses placeholder files that are downloaded lazily from the
cloud.
When you start digiKam it will try to scan all pictures in ~/OneDrive/Pictures,
triggering download of all of them.
Given that this is a very serious operation and may fail and make computer
problematic/unusable if C: drive runs out of space I think digiKam should
detect placeholder files and provide suitable warning before proceeding.
PS. Other cloud storage clients may do lazy downloads too (e.g. Google Drive
FileStream), perhaps even on mac.
