[Digikam-users] Issue with Digikam and Removable media

[Simon Cropper]

Hi Philippe,

I can read the messages correctly as I only read English but what stood 
out for me was characters and spaces in the album names.

In Screenshot-03 note the leading space for "photos a classer". It 
differs to "Phototheque-01".

You also use characters with diacritic marks. It is hard sometimes to 
verify whether all programs, databases, OS understand and accept these 
characters.

Personally I don't use "-" either. I have had problems in the past with 
various programs not working properly because '-" was in path. 
Substitute "_" if a spacer is required.

This may not be the issue but it is worth a try to sanitise your names. 
Only use a-z A-Z 0-9 for paths and album names. See if this works. No 
"~!@$%^&*(){}?<>", spaces or characters with diacritic marks.

Best of luck.

Cheers Simon
