--config works beautifully.<br>
<br>
Micro glitch:<br>
"--config <nonexistent file>" annoys DigiKam.<br>
I ran with no digikamrc and without --config, which made a new
digikamrc.<br>
I renamed the new digikamrc to "digikamrc1", and "--config
digikamrc1" worked.<br>
<br>
I now have two Windows Desktop shortcuts, one with --config
digikamrc1, and the other with --config digikamrc2.<br>
Beautiful!<br>

Hi,
There are 2 solution to your request :
1/ uses 2 accounts where the application settings will be hosted in
different home directory.
2/ uses the CLI "--config" option of digiKam :

Windows 7
DigiKam 8.2.0
I'd like to set up two DigiKam environments on the same system, with separate databases and image files.
Would that require juggling digikamrc files, one for each environment, perhaps by switching a soft link between two digikamrc files?
After setting up the first environment, how would I start DigiKam "clean", i.e. with no knowledge of history?
