I don't know what you are doing You shouldn't change the database directly. Only when you know what you are doing. You can change the collection type in the digiKam settings in the collection setup via the refresh symbol next to the trash icon.

It is not enough just to change the type. The identifier and specificPath must have the correct content for the respective collection type. For a local collection e.g. a drive UUID etc.

Yes, that was what I tried. But the system do not care and re-placed it back into local collections always. I tried to find out what ist the problem by looking directly into the database and found the behaviour as described.

For me it looks as if the dialog always writes a No 1 = local drive into the database on clicking the OK button - independend of the input values

The problem is the UNC path, I'll fix it. Drives with letters can be changed without problems.
