Hi all,

I was unable to save my database (sqlite) even with digikam 5.1.0. I finally
found out a workaround to this issue. Comment:16 by hamelg is the key to this.

0. I am assuming you are upgrading from digikam-4 to digikam-5, and the
database files were using sqlite.
1. Make sure you backup digikam4.db and thumbnails-digikam.db
2. Start digikam-5 and let it go through the welcome dialog and "forget" all
the image information. I am using this step to make digikam create the
digikamrc file with the correct path to images and database. Quit digikam.
3. Install sqlitebrowser.
4. Copy the backed up digikam4.db and thumbnails-digikam.db to the album
folder.
5. Open digikam4.db using sqlitebrowser.
6. In sqlitebrowser, navigate to "Browse data", and double click on the
"volumeid:?pat.." that shows up. Edit the path to replace all "%2F" with "/".
Click "Ok". Then click on "Write Changes" and quit sqlitebrowser.
7. Open digikam again. This time it should show all the images and tags.

Hope this helps someone. It worked for me. Cheers!
