[digiKam-users] collections: removable media collection got re-marked as a local collection

[Peter Teuben]

is this a known bug that collections marked as removable can become local?


I decided to make a symlink in /Photos to a removable media link, and 
marked it as being on removable media.

But after some reboot, logout or new instance of digikam , it decided 
this album was going to on local media. This is bad for me. The next 
thing that happens is that it got removed, and now it has to rebuild the 
whole database data, which takes forever in my case, perhaps 100k images.

I'm going to try and re-mark them, otherwise I run the risk again that 
when I forget to mount that drive and I start digikam, it's game over 
again.  Could also cheat and use sqlitebrowser to edit the "type" field 
in the AlbumRoots.

Isn't this a bug to change its mind on what's Local and Removable???
