This happened to me over the weekend. I had a set of tagged images  
displayed, then clicked on the album list and all the images  
disappeared. I ran the command to tidy up the database but that didn't  
help. In the end I was forced to re-ingest my v0.9.x database and redo  
the tags on my videos (where metadata is not written to the files  
themselves). It's been fine for a couple of days now. I have the old  
digikam4.db file if that would prove to be of interest to anyone.
