[Digikam-users] database troubles

Hello

I intend to reinstall my system and format my disk. When I will copy my
files (and my photos) back on my new system, I want to be sure I will have
my digikam stuff just like before (basically, tags and "stars" on photos)
Do I just need a copy of the database?  (the file digikam4.db?)

and actually, I am having trouble now, because I use the "database
migration" tool, in order to make such a copy on another disk (I understood
this tool as a copying tool, but I realise now that I must be wrong)? Now
when I start digikam, it lost the location of my albums, and try to connect
to the database, with no success....
and now it asks me again where my photos are re rebuild everything! How can
I tell it to use the database that I have saved?

thanks if you can help

Samuel
