Hi Dik,

the only reason I know is that folder/albums and filenames with non-ascii
chars could not be found anymore.   And digikam would (after asking the user)
delete them from the database.   So one would lose tags and comments for
all files and the complete subtree of folder/albums with non ascii chars
in them.

Ah, btw once apon a time digikam stored <lang>_<country>.<encoding>.
Now only <encoding> is stored (as it should be).   So if you get
something like

 old: de_DE.UTF-8  new: UTF-8

you can ignore the message.  At least I did ;)  (nevertheless make sure you have
a backup copy of you images)

Developers: If this is really the only reason, maybe we could enhance the error
message to explain this? (with a reference to a more complete explanation& howto-fix)
