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

[Markus Rohner]

Hi Sven

Thanks a lot for giving me the hints.
For some reason digikam had a new album path. I changed it, but after
the next start it was wrong again.
So I had to change the album path in digikamrc file
(~/.kde4/share/config) to the "old" path and then everything worked fine.
