[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#569498: workaround for empty albums

[G. Milde]

Package: digikam
Version: 2:1.2.0-2
Severity: normal


I had the same problem with "empty" albums (no previews) after
upgrading to KDE 4.

Re-creating the database from image data was no option, as the
metatags and keywords were only stored in the digikam3.db database.

I found some mention that the marblewidget might be to blame, also, I
did not install the virtuoso database recommended by kdebase-runtime.

After installing and updating all requirements and recomendations and
recomendations of requirements... still no previews.

However, after deleting digikam4.db and newstart of digikam,
digikam4.db is re-created from the digikam3.db with all my tags and
keywords and the previews are shown.

Fazit: Keep a backup of your digikam3.db

Pro: it works now.
Con: I cannot tell what caused the bug.
