[Digikam-users] Update, clean, and move database?

[Peter Albrecht]

Hi Jasper,

I try to use the digiKam db only as a fast cache for image
meta information.
-> I configured digikam to store all important info (for me:
Tags, Comments, Rating) in the JPG's metadata (EXIF/XMP).

At my last migration from 32 Bit to 64 Bit, I started with a
fresh digikam installation and copied only the jpg files to
the new installation.
Digikam db and thumbnail db were recreated well.

I did not copy digikam settings, but went through all of
them again. Once in a while, new interesting settings are
added, which I wouldn't have found otherwise.

This worked well for me. Maybe other people with other
settings/conditions might have problems with this way.

Regards,
	Peter
