Hi.<br>
<br>
I have recently installed a new computer with kubuntu lucid lynx and<br>
digikam 1.2.0. On my old computer (laptop) I was using KDE 3.5 and an<br>
old digikam. How do I import the captions and other metadata from the<br>
database on the old computer into the database on the new computer?<br>
The paths to the images are exactly the same as before.<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Gerrit.<br>
