I know; this is a major point and likely a key issue in the troubleshooting exercise. Couldn’t see the forest for the trees! Anyway, I’ve tried to clean everything relating to the old install of dk including the entire /opt/digikam directory. There must be a cache and other settings somewhere. I couldn’t find them. Does anybody have a suggestion?</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 06 Sep 2015, at 18:26, J Albrecht <<a href="mailto:heviiguy@gmail.com" target="_blank">heviiguy@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Still no joy! the io.slave doesn’t want to play nicely.
