I think the problem is not so much that you changed disks, as Digikam doesn't know where the database file is. I always change the database location to the same directory as my pictures (settings --> configure digikam --> database settings) This way if I move my pictures folder to a new drive, or even a different computer, all my tags and settings remain.<BR>

Hope this helps.<BR>

In a related way, my single complaint with Digikam is that I've lost
tags several times in the past couple of years, namely every time i've
upgraded or changed disks. Digikam recognizes that the UUID has changed
and all my tags are gone. The images (RAW & jpg) and folders and such
are all there, which is the most important thing--but any user data is
gone. I won't use tags any more until I have a better understanding of
how to transfer tags across disk changes/replacements/upgrades. I'd
rather it never looked at UUID, which I think of as a machine pointer,
as opposed to a handle with deliberate semantics (path or mountpoint).
Thanks,
