The problem happens when it's wrong, and when DK then starts, you loose all thumbnail (and maybe more). If your collection(s) are big, this could be an overnight process to sync back up to get a database that's working again.<o:p></o:p></p><p>So I've learned how to get into sqlitebrowser and make a collection part of the Removables, instead of on the Local collections.
