I have found a workaround for the problem: <span
class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
<br>
1) choosing MySQL instead of SQLite;<br>
<br>
2) with such choice a side effect has arisen: Album Library Path
cannot be set up because of national symbols in root-album name (in
spite of UTF-8 system locale) - I had to create root-album Pictures
for it in my home directory (national symbols in sub-album names are
acceptable).<br>
<br>
Hence it appears that missing photos themselves are not a cause of
the problem (SQLite?).<br>

Hello<br>
<br>
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I am going to use digiKam instead
of default Shotwell,<br>
so I installed package digiKam and set up the root
album at first run<br>
with a collection of photos already in it. Checking
the result of first<br>
scanning of the collection I have found that 3 photos
of 1205 are missed<br>
in one of subalbums although ls shows they are there.
I chose one of them<br>
for testing:<br>
1) moved it to another directory, launched digiKam and
imported it<br>
again - without result;<br>
2) purged and then installed package digiKam again -
the same;<br>
3) launched digiKam in terminal window - there were
several messages<br>
complaining about *.mov files in albums but this one
is jpg-file;<br>
4) looked at the metadata of the chosen file by means
of console program<br>
exif - they looked like normal.<br>
<br>
What is wrong?<br>

<div>There use to be a problem like that sometimes ago:
some pictures could never be recognized by Digikam
whatever you do, and though they were perfectly OK with
other programs.<br>
</div>
<div>I don't know if the problem still exists, but it was
due to wrong records left in the database and - at that
time - the only possibility was to remove them manually,
or start with a new DB from scratch. <br>
Now there are some maintenance tools included in Digikam
interface, that might help to fix that issue.<br>

This message is a try to resume the discussion.<br>
Now on another OS - Linux Mint 13 KDE - but with the same version
of digiKam the problem has arisen again. Unfortunately, "start
with a new DB from scratch" does not work.<br>
<br>
In due time Simon Cropper experimented kindly with one such file
provided by me. He found out the procedure:<br>
<br>
exiv2 extract p1020398.jpg <br>
exiv2 delete p1020398.jpg <br>
exiv2 insert p1020398.jpg <br>
<br>
gets the image appeared in digiKam and he suspected the file is
somehow corrupted.<br>
<br>
But command "cmp" shows about this procedure that the initial and
final versions of the file are identical. Moreover "Reread
Metadata" (the last item of the Album Menu marked with curved
green arrow) results in disappearance the image again so it seems
to me the problem concerned with database interaction.<br>
<br>
The point of the problem is unstable behaviour of the program
intended for professional use. I have about 0.2% of such files but
absolutely uncertain about which new ones will fill up this
collection.<br>
<br>
If anybody is going to test this problem I am ready to send such
file (there are three about 2 MB each) directly to his/her email.<br>
