[digiKam-users] Fwd: Re: More fighting with DigiKam

Responding to the observation that the DK database might be invalid or 
corrupt, I noted that it seems to include new photos as I add them. 
After reading a bit more about SQLite, it seemed to me that the next 
database step might be to VACUUM the dust and detritus. I looked in 
TOOLS|MAINTENANCE |PERFORM DATABASE CLEANING. I left SCAN FOR NEW ITEMS 
checked and unchecked all the other boxes except for PERFORM DATABASE 
CLEANING. The cleaning process was slow, so I worked on a CADD project 
for several hours. At some time during the interval, I noticed that DK 
no longer showed in the Task Bar.--OK, it's done.

When I finished the CADD project, I clicked on the DK destop icon and 
got an error message. When I searched for the DK exe program, it was 
missing. I had to reinstall DK.

Looking at database statistics, the database had been reduced in size by 
about half. Tags, Pick List, and Colors still do not function. The next 
step, I guess, is to rename the existing database (I also make a disk 
image of my system nightly). This would force DK to create a new 
database, I expect. I think this is a drastic step. Any better ideas 
before I actually do it?

SkypeBridge perturb digiKam while running. This is the magic world of 
Windows and anti spyware / anti virus mess...

    this error appear multiple time. It's abnormal. Sound like the
    database contents is invalid or corrupted.
