--- Comment #9 from Herb Smith <hesmith1...@aol.com> ---
It has been almost a month and I thought I would update on how this 
issue is impacting me.   And because the issue came back

After my initial report for several days I just lived with the 
problem.   Then Digikam started behaving very strangely  and the only 
thing that made sense to me was database corruption.

(When displaying photos by dates the center panel suddenly was not 
showing anything.  At least not for the month and year that I had been 
working on when problem started.  I soon discovered that if I went to 
the Albums display and selected the Album that contained the photos for 
that month and year it would display them.   I also confirmed that the 
photos were still present on the hard drive.  This told me that 1) I 
still had the photos and 2) the Thumbnails were still in that database.  
I ran all of items that were database related in Tools->maintenance.  
This did not fix issue.  Finding no other tools for forcing a re index,  
used the database migration tool to export to what hopefully was a clean 
copy of the database.   Took over a day and with rebuilding of the 
support db's several days [This with the db's on an SSD]. This fixed my 
display issue)

Fixing this issue also fixed the problem with Google Maps API Key also.

So things have been good for the past couple of weeks.

Until today.   I have again working in Dates view.  Using 
<Shift><Control><D and G a lot.   Suddenly <Shift><Control> before 
hitting anything else was opening up the Similarity tab on the left 
panel.   If I reselected dates and then selected several photos, the 
first time I attempted to edit dates I was successful.  If I need to 
adjust those same dates again I could not reenter date editing because 
<Shift><Control> took me to Similarity immediately. After trying 
maintenance and restarting Digikam,  the problem went away with a full 
shut down of the entire system.

On the first few reboots of the PC I noticed the Write Ahead databases 
(--WAL's)  were bigger that the actual databases.  (No opinion of what 
that means).  After a few reboots PC and restarts of DigiKam (Only when 
activity monitor showed no disk usage by DigiKam)  the Write Ahead's 
returned to a normal size.

But now the problem with Google API key is back.

Is there a way short of exporting the database and rebuilding all 
supporting DB's to force a rebuild of all the indexes?

I am running the AppImage for Digikam 8.5 downloaded from Digikam web 
site, and Ubuntu 24.04.

Thanks
