[Digikam-users] Digikam freezing

[David King]

Further to previous comments, I decided to look for the Digikam database 
files, which I found in the Pictures folder which I had set as root for 
Digikam.

I renamed digikam4.db and digikam4.db-journal and then restarted 
Digikam. This time it took a while to get started, but once it did, it 
all seems to be working again (so far) without freezing, having created 
new database files.

Hopefully it will stay okay, but I wonder what caused the database to be 
locked? Maybe from when it was open before and did not shut down cleanly?
