[Digikam-users] Re: digikam not opening

Fine. I do not know if there are any incompatibillities between de 1.9 
db and the 2.0 db. But it seems according to your experience.
If you do ¨write all metadata to pictures¨ and you do make a new 
database after upgrade you should have version 2 with all the data you 
had before. (fingers crossed of cource)

good luck
