<br>
Summary: Collection path is interpreted differently<br>
Product: digikam<br>
Version: unspecified<br>
Platform: Debian testing<br>
OS/Version: Linux<br>
Status: UNCONFIRMED<br>
Severity: normal<br>
Priority: NOR<br>
Component: general<br>
AssignedTo: <a href="mailto:digikam-devel@kde.org">digikam-devel@kde.org</a><br>
ReportedBy: <a href="mailto:bugs@dotcommie.net">bugs@dotcommie.net</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Version: 2:1.1.0-1 (using KDE 4.3.4)<br>
OS: Linux<br>
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages<br>
<br>
I last fired up digikam last month and it worked fine then. Today I start<br>
digikam and it complains that it cannot find my collection in "/media/Pictures"<br>
this is weird as I have always used "~/media/Pictures" as my collection. Not<br>
much has changed in the interrim, I did do a few safe-upgrades through debian<br>
but logs don't show any changes for digikam but some libraries have been<br>
updated.<br>
<br>
Removing this broken collection and re-adding the valid path resolves this<br>
warning but as a result a lot of meta-data is lost. Not an acceptable work<br>
around.<br>
<br>
Taking a look at the digikam4.db the "specificPath" column in the AlbumRoots<br>
path is set to "/media/Pictures" and not to "/home/USER/media/Pictures."<br>
Comparing this entry in the DB to a backup copy of the database from before<br>
this issue was encountered reveals that it has not changed! It appears that<br>
somehow the interpretation of the specificPath has changed in a way could<br>
possibly loose a collection. Work around is opening the database and changing<br>
this field as the option to do this in digikam is not presented.<br>
