[Digikam-users] Transfering Digikam to a new computer

[Fabian Frank]

This is interesting. 
Thanks for your efforts. 

I have some videos in the collection as well. So this might be the Problem. 

Any idea to have a quick fix for windows?

Now with the import bug still there and this bug now, digikam is hardly usable for me. 

Thanks. 

Fabian.

I'm will try it again but if you have any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing them.  Or if anyone else has suggestions on this, that would be appreciated too!
