[digiKam-users] Move database but not pictures - how?

[Bob W]

I have a similar question but for windows 10 installation.  I had to create a new Digikam install on a recovered windows 10 PC.  This caused Digikam to think it is a first time setup of Digikam.  I have an existing Digikam data base with 16K tagged images that I don’t want to lose!  How to I point the setup to use the existing database.  I am concerned that if I follow the first time setup path and specify the path to the existing DB, my existing database well be destroyed.

I think it should be possible.

If you start digikam from a command line, and use the "--database-directory
/path/to/database" option, you can point the new location of the database. I
think that the following times you launch digikam, it will remember that
path.
