Fwd: Information lost

[daniel bip]

Hi there,

One week ago I sent the mail below, getting no answer. It probably didn't
get to the list...

May someone help? Is it normal to loose all the information when moving one
directory into another one? Any way to recover the information from SQL? I
saw it contains a field called Status which seems to keep track of changes,
if I'm not wrong...

Thanks in advance.

BR,


d.

Hi there,

Situation: I had several folders in a given album. I tagged everyone, rated
all my pictures, located them, bla bla bla. Then I decided I wanted all
those folders to be inside another one, and moved them all (movement done
from DK, of course) into that folder.

Result: all the information is lost. No tags, no starts, no nothing at all.
Tried to Quit and Start DK again. Nothing. Tried to move those folders back
to the original location. Nothing. Tried to replicate the problem by rating
another picture in that folder and moving the whole folder to a new
location. The information is lost again...

So.. it seems DK can't handle folders been moved from root album into
another folder, right?

Is there any way I could try to recover all that information? I guess it is
still in SQLite..

System: Ubuntu 16.4 Digikam 5.5 from Philip Johnson's PPA running as a
Oracle VM, SQLite as out of the box, pictures stored in Windows folders
mounted in Ubuntu.

BR...
