Create (or not) a database file named something other than index.xml 2. run kphotoalbum --db something_not_named_index.xml OBSERVED RESULT kphotoalbum loads index.xml if present, or prompts to create one if not, regardless of whether the specified file name exists. EXPECTED RESULT kphotoalbum should use the specified filename. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS All irrelevant; the issue is in kphotoalbum proper.
