SUMMARY
***
Renaming an album may lead to an error if Digikam is working on it (typically
after an import process)
This is related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412678 but know I
think I understand why.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. From the album view (left tree)
2. Choose an album, and refresh it (F5)
2. Do not wait and immediately try to rename the folder/album (Maj+F2).
OBSERVED RESULT
3. An error message appears
EXPECTED RESULT
3. folder/Album should be renamed as desired.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The error messages seems to appear if the bottom right progress bar is not
100%. If I wait the progress bar to finish, I don't see the error message, and
the folder is correctly renamed.
I wonder if Digikam is certainly accessing some files, maybe even writing some
sidecar files or database entries. It may be dangerous to rename this folder
while a process is running, and this is maybe why digikam rises an error.
I suggest digikam to write a better message, such as "a process is running,
please wait before renaming".
Or maybe cue it so that it's done when possible. "a process is running,
renaming will be performed asap".
