Bug ID: 513415
Summary: Add an option to prevent PC to go to sleep when
scanning
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Maintenance-Database
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Recently, my DB "lost" everything (though browing it with DB Browser for
SQLLite showed evertyhing was there) so I had to to a full rescan of my files
(over 300k files of network connection) first by refreshing the collection item
in settings and then, when I realised old files were stil in the database, then
with Tools / Maintenance. It goes quite smoothly as long as I'm using the PC
but, for instance, if I leave for the night, the PC will go to sleep (if sleep
timeout is active) and the job will stretch forever.
Generally, not preventing to go to sleep for background tasks _may_ be a good
thing but it feels to me like it's clear it is not the case for this multi
hours/days process.
The option could be in the background task panel when we explode it, maybe?
Something like "Prevent sleeping until all tasks are complete"?
