Fwd: Information lost

[Andrey Goreev]

Daniel
Yes I have.I normally have two collections:
/home/user/pictures/home/user/pictures_unsorted
I do culling, raw developing, some tagging in the unsorted collection and move its subfolders to the pictures collection when I am done.
I do write metadata to JPEGs, raw images & video files though.
After adding a tag I usually wait until the writing process is done and then check a random picture pressing ctrl + shift + M and looking at keywords.
On linux Geeqie is also a good way to check if tags were written.
On Windows you can just use file Explorer.

Andrey,

Thanks for your reply. Have you ever moved an entire folder into another one? (the folder itself, not the images of that folfer: \\repository\folder1\ -> \\repository\folder2\folder1\). When I do so it's when I loose all the information...

Thanks.

BR,

I always move pictures around. I have also regenerated the .db file for my collection on a freshly system few times. Never lost a thing. So I don't think it is normal to lose your info when moving photos.As for the second question (recovering from SQL), there was someone here who wrote a python script that recovers some certain information from sql database and writes it to image files. I would try searching by "sql" "python" "script" keywords here: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/

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...


d.
