how to move digikam photos and database
I'm running out of space on the device where I store photos and music so I need to move the photos to another partition. The problem is that I want to keep all the tags and ratings that I've put on this snaps in digikam so I need to move the database.
Is there a way to do this ? Thanks for any help |
I'll go to bed now but when i don't forget i'll look for you, just installed Suse 10.2 on my old pc so ... :)

Same problem!
Oooh! I have the same problem! I need to move directories containing all my pictures from one 'parent' folder to another, whilst preserving the tags!
Can anyone help please? All I can think of at the moment is: cut-and-paste the 'parent' directory ("Pictures", in my case) to the desired location, thus copying the digikam3.db file along with everything else. Then, change "Album Library Path" to destination/Pictures. I might try this later. I don't want accidentally lose my tags, though... :D |
Yeah, my method worked.
Originally, the folder: Code:
/media/sda5/Documents and Settings/FSHero/My Documents/Pictures I moved the whole "Pictures" folder to: Code:
/media/sda5/Documents and Settings/SharedDocs Finally, in digiKam, I changed the Album Library Path to: Code:
/media/sda5/Documents and Settings/SharedDocs/Pictures NOTE: I backed up my digikam3.db and exif-info.db files first! I imagine that an identical method would work for you, dukeinlondon. GLHF! |
Hmm ok, i found it too lol but forgot to post. Sorry, but good that you found it too ...

I would probably have tried this but I have been short on experimenting time. That's great, thanks for your help.
