[Digikam-users] Empty Albums - solved

[Errol Sapir]

I still haven't a reason for what happened but I solved the problem by 
deleting the digikam.db and re-scanning my hard drive with Digikam. This 
time all the photos are visible. I have no answers to the problem but at 
least I have a solution to see all my photos with Digikam.
