Digikam-users Digest, Vol 144, Issue 44

[Uwe Haider]

Thanks a lot for your time and answers.

I think you missed my first email. I've lost a hard disk with an part of
my collection. And I have moved on to NAS with the collection and the
SQL-Server (mariadb). So a lot of pictures, folders an paths in the
mariadb-tables don't exist any more (lost hdd). Starting digikam gives a
bunch of error messages. I think, this messages break digikams start.

The speed of the network connection don't lead to error messages - or I
haven't found them...

To avoid all the missing file errors can I drop the album paths in
mariadb. This will leave a bunch of pictures in the tables without an
album and an album root path. Will dk correct this tables? Or will I get
much more errors doing so?

The missing files are lost.

Ok, I will try this the next few days...

part of my albums are lost, the folders of the NAS are still available,
read/write permissions for my user are set correct. read/write works,
testet with vim. I just have to clean up the SQL-tables by hand I
think.... Or is there a tool?
