           Summary: digikam uses wrong album root path/wrong disk uuid
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wolters.liste at gmx.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Digikam only shows the included albums when I have my backup disk attached -
although all paths in digikamrc and even in the digikam4.db-file are set right.
When I start Digikam without the external disk I simply get an empty digikam.
If I remove the folder in the settings and re-add it, the problem persists. I
have to remove the database file to get rid of this problem.

Background information:
My files are in /home/liquidat/Bilder/Photoalben/* (several folders). I have an
additional external usb disk with a backup of these data under
/media/BackupDisk/Backup/Bilder/Photoalben/*.

My guess:
I opened the database file and looked around, and finally found this:
sqlite> select * from AlbumRoots;
          id = 1
       label =
      status = 0
        type = 1
  identifier = volumeid:?uuid=313804a2-7421-49cd-a6be-b689886a4dea
specificPath = /home/liquidat/Bilder/Photoalben
The uuid is in fact the one of my external hard disk - my local hard disk is
bound in by VolumeManagement:
$ mount
...
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 on /home type jfs (rw)
...

So, first of all, how could it ever happen that the wrong uuid was ever chosen?
And how can I correct it now - a VM ususally does not has a uuid.
