I opened it with a text editor and in the [AdvancedRename Dialog] section I found a long string containing the pattern for the rename followed by a file path:<br>[AdvancedRename Dialog]<br>Dialog Size=717,450<br><div>Last Used Rename Pattern=TN_Ranipet_##\nfile:///C:/Users/..../digikam4.db\nfile:///C:/Users/..../recognition.db\nfile:///C:/Users/..../similarity.db\n</div><div><br></div>Similar strings also in the [AdvancedRename Input] section. <br>I made a copy of digikamr (just in case) and deleted the file paths, leaving only the pattern (in both sections). From a first test, it seems that my problem is solved, but I would like to know if I may have caused other problems before continuing to use the application.

comes from and why a full path appears there. The "__" characters are formed <br>
because digiKam converts forbidden characters such as ": \". What does user <br>
change mean? digiKam uses absolute paths in its configuration file <br>
"digikamrc". We have a bug report to change this. So if you have switched from <br>
C:\Users\Joe to C:\Users\Joe2, you can no longer use the existing digkamrc.<br>
