[digiKam-users] [digiKam-Users} Digikam-6.4.0 Failure to add windows library to collection.

[Maik Qualmann]

DigiKam changed your drive from C: to F: because both drives have the same 
UUID and now selected the wrong drive. Reformatting one of the two drives 
would be one solution. It is better to add the collection as a network 
collection. In the case of a network collection, only the path for 
identification is used.
