migration data base

[Maik Qualmann]

The migration tool is not designed for migration from Windows to Linux. If the 
directory structure of your image collection hasn't changed, you can simply 
take over the SQLite database from Windows. You only have to update the base 
collection path in the digiKam settings under Collections (tool button with 
round circle icon).
