Andreas, could you have a look and comment here (or at any of the above, if it makes sense). General remarks: I would always recommend to have also the root directory of digikams images on the external disk (which includes the database file digikam3.db). Then you could write a small wrapper script, which checks, whether the USB disk is mounted and only then really start digikam. In addition, of course the general statement about a backup of all images applies (I know this does not help anymore if the whole database is gone; very annoying, I perfectly understand!). Best, Arnd Checking for availability of album roots (with that, multiple album roots of course) will come with the KDE4 version of digikam - it is only possible with help of the new "Solid" API. In my opinion this is in spirit a duplicate of bug 126821. Andreas, could you please add any missing thoughts of your report in that bug. Thanks a lot, Arnd *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126821 *** Not reproducible using digiKam 7.0.0 beta1. |
