           Summary: Collection path is interpreted differently
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugs at dotcommie.net


Version:           2:1.1.0-1 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I last fired up digikam last month and it worked fine then. Today I start
digikam and it complains that it cannot find my collection in "/media/Pictures"
this is weird as I have always used "~/media/Pictures" as my collection. Not
much has changed in the interrim, I did do a few safe-upgrades through debian
but logs don't show any changes for digikam but some libraries have been
updated.

Removing this broken collection and re-adding the valid path resolves this
warning but as a result a lot of meta-data is lost. Not an acceptable work
around.

Taking a look at the digikam4.db the "specificPath" column in the AlbumRoots
path is set to "/media/Pictures" and not to "/home/USER/media/Pictures."
Comparing this entry in the DB to a backup copy of the database from before
this issue was encountered reveals that it has not changed! It appears that
somehow the interpretation of the specificPath has changed in a way could
possibly loose a collection. Work around is opening the database and changing
this field as the option to do this in digikam is not presented.
