[digiKam-users] Replacement External Hard Drive (Windows 10)

[Maik Qualmann]

You'll need to update the path and UUID in the database. Go to the digiKam 
collection settings and use the "Refresh" icon button (circle symbol) next to 
the collection and set the new path, even if it is the same, the UUID will be 
updated. If you have actually cloned, you may now have 2 drives with the same 
volume UUID. digiKam can no longer differentiate between these volumes. Either 
change the volume UUID of a hard drive with an appropriate tool or reformat a 
drive. There cannot be multiple drives with the same volume UUID. 
Unfortunately, this is the case with new drives of the same type and 
manufacturer if they are already formatted in the factory.
