[Digikam-users] Lost my tag associations after upgrade to digikam 0.10

[Sven]

Had similar problem recently. Assuming your album structure is unchanged and 
your old db-file is kept unchanged you can try this.

In the 0.10 version you now have to specify two paths. One for the album 
folders and one for the database. If the albums are ok then first put your old 
databaseX.db file in a separate directory say ~/Pic, then change the digikam 
database path to ~/Pic. Digikam should now ask you if you want to use the 
current db or create a new or similar. Chose to keep the current (the db-file 
in ~/Pic). If all your 0.9 tags and comments are still there and you have not 
changed your album structure completely I think you should be back where you 
started.
