            Bug ID: 501907
           Summary: `No active process` is misleading
    Classification: Applications
           Product: digikam
           Version: 8.6.0
          Platform: Microsoft Windows

Process Monitor 4.01 Log Screenshot

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I don't know what exactly needs to be done to reproduce this behavior, but I
have been observing this behavior for three days now and I tend to think that
this is normal behavior of the application.

OBSERVED RESULT

The status bar shows "No active process", which is clearly not true. The
Windows process manager shows that digiKam, in which I have not been doing
anything for several hours, is constantly actively working with the disk on
which the application database is located. Process Monitor 4.01 shows a
constant active stream of requests to digikam4.db, mainly for reading.

EXPECTED RESULT

If an app is doing something, I would prefer it to notify what it is doing and
how long it plans to do it (ETA). If an app says "No active process", then it
should not be actively doing anything, be it scanning files, writing tags to
files, or optimizing a database.
