looks like the database upgrade went ok, but building the tree structure 
in the GUI failed; something which i suspected might happen

albuminfo.cpp:
     bool operator<(const TagInfo& info)
     {
         //TODO: would this cause failure?
         return pid < info.pid;
     }

i will have a closer look at it and try and fix the problem. any chance 
you can send me your digikam3.db file in the toplevel photo library path.

should be possible (tom, can you add this to your TODO list).

the date used is the exif date (if available).

i agree, we have to find a solution to this (happens also when the album 
names-are-long/hierarchy-depth-is-deep).
