Ah... ehmmm... actually, I did something else then I described.

I had /pictures
and now I have /pictures/ace
and pictures/otheruser
and I start digikam in /pictures !
So the root path *has* changed, is there something I can do?
I tried opening the db file with sqlite but it says: encrypted or no 
databse file...
