[KPhotoAlbum] Bug in KPA 3.0

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

The only reason I can see for this is that your md5 was broken.
When KPA is searching for new images it will compare their md5's with whats in 
the DB, and if it sees that it matches one of those in the DB, then it will 
check if the one in the DB still exists on disk, if not, it will copy its 
annotations over.

To remove the dead icons of yours now, simply run maintainance->find images 
not on disk, and delete them.

Cheers
Jesper.
