[Digikam-users] Lost tags and album thumbnails

Digikam lost all my tags and album thumbnails but I think I know why 
this time (i've lost tags and album thumbnails 4-5 times in the past, 
it's the most fragile part of digikam).

I think the reason is because i started digikam while my NAS was 
inadvertently powered down and it popped up showing no albums.  I shut 
down digikam, started up the NAS and restarted digikam.  After a long 
time (it has almost 350GB of data , digikam came up with all the 
pictures, but the tags and album thumbnails were all gone.

Is the information inside the db files, somehow detached from the images?

Is there any way to recover the associations?

thanks,
