Not sure, whether the current one there qualifies as a duplicated of any of
these... Andreas, could you have a look and comment here
(or at any of the above, if it makes sense).

General remarks:
I would always recommend to have also the root directory
of digikams images on the external disk 
(which includes the database file digikam3.db).
Then you could write a small wrapper script, which checks, whether
the USB disk is mounted and only then really start digikam.
In addition, of course the general statement about a backup of
all images applies (I know this does not help anymore if the whole database
is gone; very annoying, I perfectly understand!).

Best, Arnd
