I had to create a new Digikam install on a recovered windows 10 PC. This caused Digikam to think it is a first time setup of Digikam. I have an existing Digikam data base with 16K tagged images that I don’t want to lose! How to I point the setup to use the existing database. I am concerned that if I follow the first time setup path and specify the path to the existing DB, my existing database well be destroyed. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:marcpalaus@hotmail.com">woenx</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, January 13, 2020 7:11 AM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:digikam-users@kde.org">digikam-users@kde.org</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [digiKam-users] Move database but not pictures - how?</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think it should be possible.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you start digikam from a command line, and use the "--database-directory</p><p class=MsoNormal>/path/to/database" option, you can point the new location of the database.
