Created attachment 151616 [details] the collection list and the album list Hello, Yesterday, I added 3 collections (Photos Numeriques, Photos Communes and Photos scannées). It works fine. Today, this afternoon when I open digiKam, in the album list there is only Photos Communes. Previously this morning there were the 3 albums. What's going on? SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows:
Install DebugView tool from Microsoft, run it before to start digiKam. https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Run digiKam as usual. All debug traces will be captured by DebugView. Post the trace here. Gilles Caulier
You don't need to set the environment variable, you can also enable internal debugging in the digiKam settings under Miscellaneous-> System and restart digiKam. But there is only one explanation for the behavior, the folders C:\Users\patri\Pictures\* no longer exist or digiKam has no read permission. The albums were removed from the database by digiKam because they are local collections, which are always expected to be available. I suspect no bug in digiKam. Maik
Git commit 87ccab055cd17cae73075c8b3d5907c48d38c3a4 by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 26/08/2022 at 21:24. Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. additionally check for a local/external collection whether the full path is available. This prevents data loss in the database.
