<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks for the input Gilles. Looking
into the \AppData configuration folder, it seemed like the config
file would have been: yolov3-face.cfg <br>

So I ran this, expecting to see my current installation boot:<br>
<br>
<font face="monospace">digikam.exe --config
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\digikam\facesengine\yolov3-face.cfg</font><br>
<br>
Instead DigiKam opened as if it was opening for the 1st time. It
just wasn't recognizing yolov3-face.cfg as a valid config file,
and opened as a fresh installation no matter what file I pointed
it to. That initial window that pops up refers to, "The new
location for configuration files is ~/Local Settings/ ~(old
AppData/Local/). But the only Digikam files there are 2 simple
text files in the root AppData/Local/ folder, digikam_systemrc 45
KB and digikamrc 88KB that the --config command ignores.<br>
<br>
I can't see any other locations where a valid config file might
be. And if the --help output for --database-directory <dir>
is referring to a folder that should literally be named dir
somewhere, I couldn't find it.<br>
<br>
Admittedly I'm not great at the technical end of things. 😉<br>

<div> I've had a copy of Digikam installed and working well on
my Windows 7 PC for some time now. Recently I find myself
wanting a separate copy of Digikam to incorporate an
completely different library of photos. Is that possible? <br>
<br>
I was wondering if that mcould be done by making a copy of
the \<user>\AppData\Roaming\digikam folder, and
uninstalling the program, deleting (or just moving) the
original data folder, reinstalling it, and importing a
different folder & sub-folders from a different file
library. Then just switch the 2 \AppData\ folders when I
want to switch between libraries. I'm guessing things
probably aren't that simple. Is the any chance there's a
more sophisticated method if possible at all?<br>
<br>
I'm also wondering if there's any way to have DigiKam use
the existing files in the new library instead of copying
them all to a separate location. My libraries are pretty
large.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any feedback folks.<br>
Shel<br>
