[Johannes Wienke]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233762

           Summary: Provide reasonable defaults and help for the database
                    settings page
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: languitar at semipol.de


Version:           trunk (using KDE 4.4.2)
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

The new setup page to chose between the different database backends does not
provide good defaults. If you initially switch to mysql from sqlite, no
defaults are provided except for the schema names. They are filled with the
location of the old sqlite database, which is completely wrong. Especially the
port should be set to the default mysql port.

Moreover, no "What is" texts are defined. Some questions that need to be
answered:
 * Why do I need to different schemas for data and thumbnails?
 * Can thumbnails-db and album-db be the same schema?
