Re: Problem with deleted directory

Hi again,

now I tried to delete the digikam4.db file to generate a new one.
This seems to be the only way to delete my missing folder.

But this does NOT work... because many keywords I set are missing after
the generation of the new db file!

If I use the old file, the keywords are ok... and all IPTC and XMP
settings are correct.

How can I generate a new db file?
Any idea?

Regards,

Alf

Re: Problem with deleted directory


Make sure that you write all the tags to the files before trying to regenerate the database.

There is a menu item "Write Metdata To Files" that you run on each album.

Re: Problem with deleted directory

Thank you for your reply.

In my settings I have set the parameter for writing the metadata to
file. These keywords are all visible in the IPTC/XMP tabs.

But it seems that not all keywords could be found if I delete the DB
file to regenerate the DB from the files.

Sometimes only one of e.g. three keywords can be found.

Is this a known bug?

Regards,

Alf

Digikam 1.9.0 database setup.

I am trying to setup a database with didikam 1.9.0. I want to use the MySQL database I have on localhost. I went into settings Database and set the following:


host name: localhost also tried http://localhost

port 3306 Also tried ports 0, 80.

Schema name: ~/user name/Pictures/digikam4.db

Thumbnails: ~/username/Pictures/thumbnails-digikam.db

username; xxxxxxx

password: XXXXXX

database digikam


Clicked Check DB Connection: Database connection test successful.

kick ok : error while opening the database

digikam will try to automatically reconnect to the database


just hangs trying until I click cancel.

messsage; Failed to open the database.

You cannot use digiKam without a working database. digiKam will attempt to start now, but it will not be functional. Please check the database settings in the configuration menu.

looking at documentation, no mention of database at all, also none on Wiki.

I can log into MySQl and change to the database digikam fro phpmyadmin and commandline. There are no tables. shouldn't digikam creat the tables?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure. v1.2 is quite old now (1.9 is current) and it's been a long time since I used that version.

Re: Problem with deleted directory

Thats right, but I tried Version 1.8 and 1.9 (binary packages) and both
crashes with a segmentation fault on startup :(

Therefore I use 1.2... because this version is included in my linux
distribution (openSuSE 11.3) and seems to work.

Possibly I will try V 1.9 again... but currently I don't have so much
time to find out why the segmentation fault occurs.

Thanks for your support :)

Regards,

Alf

Does the user you are using for digikam have the right to create tables
in this database?
And what does the logfile of mysql say?

I don't have access to my installation right now (reverted it to sqlite
anyway, since it won't save image tags to the sql database!). But I
think I've set the "Schema Name" und "Thumbnails" to the databases to
use for the thumbnails and other data /without any slashes and dots in it)

best regards

Re: Any interests in Digikam 2.0 packages and digikam PPA?

Digikam 2.0 beta 5 packages are now available for Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)
on my ppa:philip5/extra PPA. As before install packages digikam2,
kipi-plugins2 and showfoto2 to try out Digikam 2.0 beta5. Remember
that it's still beta software and should not be used for production.

I will upload packages for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) during this
evening. But with Maverick you need three PPAs ppa:philip5/extra,
ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports and ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports. Launchpad
have had long build cues the past days after the release of Natty so
it might take some time for the Maverick packages to get built and
ready for users to download.

Happy Digikaming!

/Philip
