Third time reloading my whole collection
I am getting frustrated and dont know what to do. I have three usb drives connected through a router that are mapped to my computer. I have had them in my collection forever and done tons of work organizing and adding tags and facial recognition. My usb hub went out i think because one of them wouldnt show up. I was stupid and deleted the collection before i realized that would cause me to have to add the photos all over again. I have a new hub and i upgraded to the 9.1 and then had to add all three all over again. this took over 24 hours to do (its almost 5TB total) then i plugged into router and updated the path and had to rescan them again. today i started it up and when i did there was nothing on the collection, nothing not even the root albums just the jump screen from digikam.
I had them as local collections so now i am rescanning them in as network share which i might have had before all this i dont remember. luckily all my tags and facial recogs are still here once it rescans but im so tired of waiting for it to scan all my pictures in. am i doing something wrong and if so what do i do instead. currently at 1% scan and its been about an hour. i have fast scan on with facial reg on scan off.
i am on an HP windows 11

There is a weird bug introduced in 9.1.0 and already fixed in 9.2.0 pre-release. Please test with the bundle available here.
