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. Gilles Caulier
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. Maik
