Hello, I switched from mac to windows recently. I downloaded the windows installer and entered the location of the old library. In digiKam, no picture was found. I went to the settings, and the path was all scrambled (because of backslashes I suppose). At this point, I removed the broken library, and add the path again. All is working well so far. This may not be very clear, but I can provide as much info as possible, if you tell me what you need :) Best
You want mean that collection path in First Run wizard is not well decoded from older DK version ? Which DK version do you use previously ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106559 [details] attachment-24387-0.html Hi Gilles, Sorry, that's not the complete accurate version of what happened. - I copied the library directory from my old computer to my new one - I installed digiKam-5.5.0-01-Win64 for the first time in this computer, and located the library directory with the installer wizzard. - The library showed no picture - I installed the latest digiKam-5.6.0-01-Win64 (that automatically uninstalled the 5.5 DK) - Still no picture - I went to the options, saw the "not well decoded" path, deleted it - I added manually the library path - Everything works Is it clearer ?

If you have copied the database from older computer (MAcOS) to new one (Windows), the path to collection are different (UNIX -> Windows) This explain why you need to fix that in setup dialog. This kind of migration is not yet implementation in First Run assistant. Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106560 [details] attachment-27496-0.html Ok ! So there are 3 paths here: - the one I inputed in the installer wizzard (which I chose manually using Windows File Picker dialog => good) - the one in the folder I copied (which format is wrong because it's not the same folder anymore => bad) - the one I fixed in the setup dialog (=>good) Can I do something else to complement this report ? --- Matthieu TALBOT neogaldr@gmail.com +33 629 22 15 70 fr.linkedin.com/in/matthieutalbot http://www.soundcloud.com/Marty-Lake http://lifehacker.com/5028808/how-eom-makes-your-email-more-efficient On 11 July 2017 at 16:58, <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382231 > > --- Comment #3 from caulier.gilles@gmail.com --- > If you have copied the database from older computer (MAcOS) to new one > (Windows), the path to collection are different (UNIX -> Windows) > > This explain why you need to fix that in setup dialog.

yes : - the one in the folder I copied (which format is wrong because it's not the same folder anymore => bad) ==> Give the exactly the old and the new paths to host collections. Gilles Caulier
Matthieu, Any feedback for this file ? Best Gilles Caulier
digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Best Regards Gilles Caulier
Hi Marty and happy new year, Can you reproduce the problem with digiKam 7.5.0 pre-release installer for Windows available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Best regards Gilles Caulier
Dear Gilles Caulier, There is been a long time since I used Digikam. I am planning to permanently use Ubuntu as my main distro, so I should not encounter any such cross platforme issue anymore. Sorry for missing the notification last years. Best,
@Gilles, we can close this bug. The base path to the image library in the database could not be adjusted, this is now possible. Either way, an existing digikamrc can never be transferred from Unix to Windows or vice versa. Maik
Thanks Maik, I close this file now.
