Description higdon001 2016-07-28 18:02:53 UTC

This happens when I swap from one existing database to another:  all files and tags are all available in the database I have moved to, but, when I click on a thumbnail or try to edit the image all I get is a blank screen.  If I then close down Digikam, and bring it back up all functionality is fully restored.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use setting, database configuration to move from one existing database to another existing database.
2.Select any thumbnail and try to edit the image.
3.

Actual Results:  
Blank screen instead of enlarged image.

Expected Results:  
Edit screen with image in.

As stated in description above, if I then close down digikam and then reload, full functionality is restored.

Note: operating system Windows 8.1

Swati,

It's fully reproducible under Linux and OSX. The new database is not fully available to work after changes.

Sound like a call or a sequence is missing in setup dialog to close current database and re-init properly the database accordingly with new backend selected in config.

I confirm this too under Linux. It's reproducible maximum times. 
DB is fully restored only after restarting DK.

This is now fixed in digikam-6.0.0-beta3 because the ItemInfo cache is deleted.
