<p>Hi,</p>
<p>so, as conlusion for first incident, i assume my "cleanup"
deleted local conifg file accidentially.<br>
</p>
<p>But now again, i "lost" settings (path to file collection/ root
album). What i basically did:</p>
<ul>
<li> moved folder with all collections/fotos to a new usb drive
(from a usb drive with flaky internal connector board)</li>
<li>ordered drive letters to match same letter as befor, (with new
drive having different patition scheme, and different drive
names)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>DigiKam did not find previos collection path (like f:/digiKam),
and started without collection. When i looked for config files
then, there were brand new timestamps for configuration files
under %userprofil%/appdata/local. Path to DB files (a local path)
was still known and valid.</p>
<p>How can this occure? As i mentioned, old drive had bad
connector, and dissaperared occasionally. I probably may have
started digikam without having any of old or new drive connected.
Does this "reset" collections path?</p>
<p>At the end, there was no loss of tagging, faces and such. Yust
some time to reload root album rsb. file collection. I've added
path for removable drive again, and scan found everything then.</p>
<p>One thing else to mention: setup for adding new removable drive
did know old folder name (same as new one), but did not show a
path, so i deletet this entry, after new entry did showup all
expectet data. This behaviour is somewhat unclear to me.<br>

<br>
<br>
having done a cleanup on c: drive (by system, on drive properties,
general tab, "cleanup"), Digikam /.2 does not findany previous
image collections, dato or settings, on restart. Just as if it was
a new installation. How could this happen? I had many restarts
without this issue.
<br>
<br>
Any idea?
<br>
<br>
Cheeers, Gerhard.
