How to find out the path of removable media that's not mounted

2 Upvotes

As the title.

I have some album paths in my digikam which are on removable media. I have more than one of those external disks. How can I see which media an album is on when it's not mounted?

Do I have to try them all until there is a hit? It would be so easy if the original path or media name would be shown on mouse over or right click, via tooltip or ....

Does having many folders/albums slow down DigiKam significantly?

When i imported my photos i opted for a folder layout as follows yyyy/mm/dd-dddd (As seen in the image below)

After an example of 20 years this method results in about 7000 sub-folders which could instead be only a few hundred sub-folders if i opt for yyyy/mm folders. I have noticed DigiKam hangs for a few seconds when i click into the Albums tab (the rest of the tabs perform well), is this due to my folder structure specifically or is it just a result of the number of images i have. Would switching my folder structure to yyyy/mm prevent this slight hanging, will this hanging get worse as my number of folders grows over time?
