[digiKam-users] Error Message: Failed to create tables in database

[Familie Reiner Sauer]

Hello,

I’m a total newbie to digikam. I’m using a MacBookPro on MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave.

When I start Digikam, i get the blue "Error Message: Failed to create tables in database“.

After clicking OK, all seems to work fine. 

What are the disadvantages, whenI see this error message? Am I losing out on something?

Regards

Reiner
