That resembles to a DB problem I (and some others too) had a few months ago.<br>In some cases, records remain in the database with wrong values that prevents Digikam to 'see' and accept the corresponding pictures. You might find some more information in searching the mailing-list archives.<br>
<br>As it is, I don't consider Digikam DB management 100% reliable yet, especially regarding the tags hierarchy management, and may be still the grouping functionality (that was what made me 'loose' pictures). And I am waiting for the next stable version - crossing fingers, hoping it'll be 'the good one' this time - before reorganizing all my collections.<br>
<br>Hope this helps ... a bit.<br>Marie-Noëlle<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/12/27 Peter Mc Donough <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mcd-mail-lists@gmx.net" target="_blank">mcd-mail-lists@gmx.net</a>></span><br>

<br>
I have come across a strange problem.<br>
<br>
I marked and renamed within digiKam in one album all photos (.DNGs) which worked, slowly but surely.<br>
<br>
Then I noticed there were 583 thumbnails, but 586 entries in that album.<br>
I left digiKam, identified three (not renamed) photos. After copying and moving them to another (empty) digiKam album, I renamed them there, and opened digiKam again. The new album showed three entries but no thumbnails. Exit digiKam again.<br>
<br>
Test with showFoto: No problems with the photos, they were there, but digiKam obviously didn't like them.<br>
I saved them in showFoto from .DNG to .PNG and digiKam generated thumbnails for the .PNGs. Six entries in the album, but only three thumbnails.<br>
<br>
I left digikam.<br>
<br>
Then I went to a backup to exclude any mixup during the renaming process in digiKam.<br>
Copied four (the three "bad", and an other "good" .DNGs from there, renamed them in Linux and moved the to the new digiKam album.<br>
<br>
I opened digiKam again.<br>
Still not there, except thumbnails for the "good" .DNG plus the three fresh .PNGs. <F5> didn't help.<br>
<br>
System opensuse 12.2, KDE 4.9<br>
digiKam Version 2.9.0 unter KDE 4.9.4 "release 5"<br>
<br>
Any idea?<br>
<br>
