Ok, good to know that !

Well, I don't think so (I hope). Look here :
<http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137694#c5>

Only 3 files refer to this :
<<
digikam/albummanager.cpp:    QString dbPath = cleanPath + "/digikam3.db";
digikam/upgradedb_sqlite2tosqlite3.cpp:    QString newDB= libraryPath + 
"/digikam3.db";
kioslave/sqlitedb.cpp:    QString dbPath = directory + "/digikam3.db";
 >>

I already tried to hardcode another path and it worked perfectly...
