[Digikam-users] Album properties lost

[Roggen.Dorf]

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem, updating ubuntu from Intrepid to Jaunty. 
I posted here before, but got no answer (maybe because I'm new and 
didn't match the rules).

Only my captions were lost, I didn' use the rest. The problem was, that 
these captions were stored in the digikam3.db and this db couldn't be 
imported to digikam4.db. Back to digikam 0.9 I stored the captions into 
the jpg-files, they are now in the IPTC-section there. Making the 
appropriate settings I can see them in digikam 0.10 now and they are 
also stored in the digikam4.db.
