Description Jean-Marc Temmos 2008-12-05 14:04:16 UTC

I still have the problem with 0.10.0beta5 and kde 4.1.3 (mandriva 2009).
I also have the 1TB display pb for cards of 2Gb (see below).

Deleting the digikam4.db is not an acceptable solution for me (I do not want to lose all info).


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #171953 +++

Version:           0.10.0-beta3 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

In the past, I have successfully used the option to create sub-albums based on date (ISO-date) when importing images from my memory card (through the internal card reader in my laptop).

This feature stopped working in version 0.10.0-beta2 (I think), and is still not working in 0.10.0-beta3. 

If the option to create sub-albums based on date is active, the import process fails with an error message saying &quot;Failed to find album for path '/my/full/album/path'&quot;. I have tried to create a new album database, but that doesn't help. If I turn off &quot;Date-based sub-albums&quot; and choose the very same album, the import succeeds.

(By the way - the size of my cards as reported in parenthesis in &quot;Import&quot;/&quot;USB Storage devices&quot; and &quot;Card readers&quot; are both &quot;1 TB&quot;, although the actual size in both cases is 2 GB)

The size display issue is fixed I think in beta6.
The failure to create albums is as well reported in 175322.
