[digiKam-users] Database backward compatibility? 6.4.0-9

[Johannes Graumann]

I'm moving my setup to QubesOS and they do not offer a template OS
image that offers a newer version of digikam. I could overcome this by
using a flatpak, but digikam does not seem to distribute that way ...

But the bottom line is: it should be possible.

Sincerely, Joh
