==How to enable fast thumbnail loading in digiKam== Transcribed from Mohamed Malik's blog of 13 February 2011‎

Edit

One of the things that bothered me during the first few days of using '''digiKam''' is that the thumbnail loading speed was slow, given that I have been a '''Picasa''' user for a long time. '''Picasa''' has a thumbnail loading speed like no other image management software. However this is due to the fact that '''Picasa''' is developed by Google, a multibillion dollar company who has all the money in the world. Nevertheless '''digiKam''' can also load thumbnails quite fast, but still not as fast as '''Picasa'''.‎

Edit

When you install '''digiKam''' for the first time it creates two databases, one for images which carries all the information about the images in your library and the second for thumbnails. By default thumbnails are generated as the folders are being accessed. However you can generate the thumbnails by using a few clicks with your mouse.‎

Edit

After installing '''digiKam''' and showing it the root folder where you have kept your images, it is very simple. What you need to do is, go to <menuchoice>Tools</menuchoice> and select the option <menuchoice>Rebuild All Thumbnails</menuchoice> and it will give you two options.‎

;1. Scan :This option will scan for missing thumbnails in your library and generate them. This process is fast‎

Edit

;2. Rebuild all : this option scans all the images in your collection and generates the thumbnails – this process is slow and time consuming.‎

Edit

After running one of the above you will feel that the thumbnails are now loaded almost instantly when using '''digiKam'''. Doing this is great and it increases the performance of '''digiKam'''.‎
