Hi all,

I have a collection on my local hard disk where all pictures come in from the camera. This is the place where I filter, prepare, tag and star rate my pictures. From time to time I copy albums from the local disk to a collection on a external usb-disk. This has been fine over years but now I realized I lost several months of star ratings! 

All star ratings just disappear when moving an album from the local hard disk to the external hard disk. I do this via digikam's move in the GUI. On the console I do not see any errors.

I reproduced this behaviour with the app-image of 5.7 but I am sure it goes back several versions. I still use the sql-lite backend. My overall number of pictures is quit huge, > 300.000.

I suspect a technical issue. On the other hand would it be a good idea to change my workflow?

Thanks

Tonio
