[digiKam-users] Problem moving images to other albums

[Maik Qualmann]

The 7 missing xmp files were also not recognized as sidecars by digiKam. I 
have no explanation at the moment, since they were not found as sidecars, they 
were not moved either, so a problem with the detection.
Please post the source directory list before and after the move.
