Cannot open images after upgrade to DK8.2

Tue Mar 19 10:05:52 GMT 2024

You need to update your collection settings.
To do this, go to the digiKam settings under Collections.
Behind your collection that is not available you will find the “Update”
button (round circle symbol). In principle, you can simply accept the
upcoming dialogs without making any changes. The collection will then be
available again.
