[Digikam-users] Failed to update old Database to new Database format

[Peter Rodgers]

Any help welcome

I'm using digikam 0.9.3 in PCLinuxos digital photography

I use digikam for reviewing my photos.  Yesterday I created a folder
of new pictures as usual, started up digikam, it read all the folders
on the drive (sda1 a  200gb partitiion), I reviewed the pictures,
closed digikam and shut down.  All as usual, nothing untoward.

This morning when I started up digikam I simply get the message
'Failed to update old Database to new Database format' and then
nothing else.

It is a great application and I do not want to do without it - I'd
really like to know what has gone wrong and how I can fix it.

daft question - Is there a limit to the number of folders it can
parse? 40 folders currently, hoping for more

Many thanks
