Hi,

see below :

[gilles at localhost devel]$ digikam --help
Usage: digikam [options]
Professional Photo Management with the Power of Open Source - A KDE
Family Project

Options:
  -v, --version               Displays version information.
  -h, --help                  Displays this help.
  --author                    Show author information.
  --license                   Show license information.
  --desktopfile <file name>   The base file name of the desktop entry for this
                              application.
  --download-from <path>      Open camera dialog at <path>
  --download-from-udi <udi>   Open camera dialog for the device with Solid UDI
                              <udi>
  --detect-camera             Automatically detect and open a connected gphoto2
                              camera
  --database-directory <dir>  Start digikam with the SQLite database file found
                              in the directory <dir>
  --config <config>           Start digikam with the configuration file
                              <config>

Look the option...

Tips : use a different account on the same computer. All settings are
stored in home directory, and nothing is merged. It's the more safe
way to test.
