[digiKam-users] Insufficient privileges

[Maik Qualmann]

With a SQLite database, this problem only occurs if digiKam does not have 
write access to digikam4.db. We do a short test whether basic database 
operations are possible at the start of digiKam. If no test table can be 
created, this error message appears. Check whether digiKam has write access  
for the relevant folder.
