[digiKam-users] In which folder Digikam puts its database?

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

Sorry, I sent twice the screencopy of the album without grouping.
Here is the one with grouped pictures, so you can see the differences.

>> I assume you're using linux. In my case (ubuntu 16.04), the three database
>> files (digikam4.db, thumbnails-digikam.db and recognition.db) are located
>> in
>> /home/<username>/Pictures by default. If your computer is configured in
>> another language, the name of the folder can change (e.g.
>> /home/<username>/Images ?)
>>
>> If you are not sure of which set of databases is the right one, I'd first

>> something.
>>
>> You can tell Digikam the location of your database in "Settings, Configure
>> digikam, Database", where you can enter (or browse) the path to your
>> database.
>>
>> In the case you changed where your pictures are stored, digikam may not
>> find
>> them because the database tells it where to look for them. There is a
>> simple
>> change you can make to correct the path to your collections, but you need
>> a
>> software to edit the database, like "sqlitebrowser".
>>
>> Follow the instructions in this page in order to do so:
