Hi, I’m new to digiKam and am using it to connect with my with Synology NAS. I set up a Network Shared connection to one of my photo folders on the NAS. Initially it seemed to work fine, showing thumbnails and opening the preview when double-clicked.

Today however, when I open digiKam none of the thumbnails show (they just show grey boxes where images should be) and if I double-click on a thumbnail/box it just opens a white screen.

Any ideas what might have happened?

I did remove my local folder from the collection (when I first started digikam it said I needed a local one first - this is an empty folder i created for the purpose - I assumed I could remove it later)… could this be the problem? I reinstated it and restarted but this didn’t seem to change anything.

I also ran maintenance and checked the rebuild thumbnail option and clicked ok… nothing seemed to happen (there aren’t many photos so maybe it ran very quickly?). I’ve restarted it again with no change.

I’m running the digikam 7.6.0 on a Macbook Pro running Monterey v12.0.1.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
