I really do want to like and use DigiKam. It is getting harder to
succeed.<br>
<br>
Several weeks ago, I asked about what to do when DigiKam would not
record and use Pick Labels and Color Labels. I use Windows 10 on a
very capable machine. I've upgraded to a couple of git versions,
and now to 6.1.0. I still cannot get these features to work.<br>
<br>
I'm now preparing to copy several thousand images (prints and
slides) I made in Turkey in 1985-1986. A pick list would be very
useful. I also want to tag images with keywords to help me find
the images I want after they are all digitized. So, I tried simply
to add the word "Turkey" to no avail. I get a dialogue box that
tells me "An error occurred during tag creation" and" /Turkey
failed to add tag to database".<br>
I think these are all related to database management.<br>
<br>
I looking in my D:\Pictures folder and found this file name:
.~lock.digikam4.db# (dated in 02-2019) I renamed it to
.~lock.digikam4.db#.old. Nothing changed in my attempt to add a
tag.<br>
<br>
So, I wonder what is next for me to do.<br>
