<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Well that works! I could have sworn I
tested every file I could find. 😅 All the data for the existing
installation in ..AppData\Roaming\DigiKam needs to be backed up,
as well as the existing digikam_systemrc and digikamrc files in
.AppData\Local. But how should I proceed from here to create a
2nd set of configuration settings, and be able to boot both? Seems
easy enough to create a simple batch file to choose the config
files. <br>

<div>Thanks for the input Gilles. Looking into the
\AppData configuration folder, it seemed like the config
file would have been: yolov3-face.cfg <br>
<br>
<font style="font-family:monospace;color:rgb(0,0,0)"
face="monospace"> Volume in drive C:<br>

So I ran this, expecting to see my current installation
boot:<br>
<br>
<font style="font-family:monospace;color:rgb(0,0,0)"
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.

<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>
