Digikam can't find my photo images

[Maik Qualmann]

The problem is known, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470556.
MacOS seems to change the partition UUID after an upgrade, only Apple 
developers will know why you do this.
Go to the digiKam collection settings and run the update function, icon next 
to the delete button. Normally you only have to click through everything once 
as set.

We plan to write a UUID file to the collection in the future.
