Digikam-users Digest, Vol 222, Issue 27

[Maik Qualmann]

Ok, your collection is not available, so you need to choose the correct path 
to the external drive. The update function only updates an existing entry, no 
new collection is created. It's just important that you choose the correct 
path. But you can still correct and check everything before you accept the 
collection setup with OK.
