<div>oh yes, I'm convinced I did something wrong, and there is no bug here... but almost each time I fiddle with the database, it goes wrong somehow...<br></div><div>What is this "migration tool" I used in the first place? Why it didn't make a copy of my database?</div>
<div>I understand that to make a backup of my database, I just copy the file digikam4.db somewhere else, is that right? (and is that enough to retrieve everything ?)</div><div>I never heard of this sidecar files, I'll have a look.</div>
