Version: 10.0.0-beta3 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: MS Windows Installed from: MS Windows When creating a new camera, a dialog box proposes to record a new database in %user%\Pictures (note that this is not the common place where I configured the database location) and then a error message box is displayed with the following message « Failed to open the database. Error message from database: Erreur à l'ouverture du système de base de données. unable to open database file Erreur lors de l'ouverture de la base de données 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. »
Do you use Windows Vista ? Try to use another path outside your home dir, for ex c:/temp. This problem is know under Vista : right file management returned by OS are dumy... Gilles Caulier
Does not work either for C:\digikam. Sorry for the mistake in the version number. Frederic
For me it work. I use 2 computer under XP and Vista. Which FS you use : Fat32 or NTFS ? Gilles Caulier
*** Bug 204479 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I use NTFS (but full r/w permissions) and it doesn't work using latest stable (4.3) with the installer. But uninstalling everything and installing previous stable version (4.2x, cant remember) everything goes allright. One last thing: after using working 4.2x version, uninstall everything BUT dikikam.db and photos, then install 4.3, select old db location and collection directory results in digikam "seeing" those pictures but incapable of opening them (being raws), nor adding albums or adding collecions. Seems like some type of kioslave problem, but other applications (like kate) can open/create/save files without problem... so i doubt it.
I also experience similar problem (0.10 in KDE 4.2.2 windows binaries). Database could not be created under my user account folder (I got message that I have to created database in dircetory to which I have write permission). I was able to create database file on other place. My system is Windows XP SP3. I also tried 1.0.0-b3 packages in KDE 4.3. I couldn't create the database file though I got no error message like in case 0.10 (probably the First run assistant will not trigger that error message).
I have a similar problem with KDE 4.3 and Windows XP SP3. I tried %user% directories, but also c:\tmpPictures. In both cases digikam does not show pictures or create albums. ShowFoto can open single pictures, but not directories. I have seen error messages like "Could not create database files" as well. However, I do believe that there is now a database file in the location. In case ShowFoto uses a database as well, maybe the DB backend is a problem. But to me it looks more like a kioslave-thingy. Although I am not a programmer. Is there something I can do to debug? I do have Visual Studio installed, but I never checked out or build KDE Windows components. -M
I can also confirm that version 4.2.2 works on the same machine with the same configuration. -M
