[Digikam-users] Moving digiKam (KDE on windows) to another drive - where have the thumbnails gone?

[Peter Shute]

I also just tried restoring some old *.db files, with the same result - I can see the albums, but no images.  What other files could it be using?  I certainly haven't moved the images.

I would like to move my digiKam executables from drive C:\kderoot to P:\kderoot.

I copied the directory and ran p:\kderoot\bin\digikam.exe.  It started ok, and I could see all my albums, but there was nothing in them.  I checked, and all the image files are actually still on the disk.  I could also still see all the tags in the tree, but clicking on them gave no results.

I closed digikam, and ran c:\kderoot\bin\digikam.exe with the same result.

What has happened, and is it recoverable?

Luckily I have recently written all the metadata to the files, so reimporting is an option, but I'd prefer to know how this happened.

Both digikam4.db and thumbnails-digikam.db are still quite large (13MB and 300MB for 20,000 images), and a quick look with a hex viewer shows lots of references to my image files in them.
