--- Comment #3 from Klemens Dickbauer <klemens.dickba...@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the comment. I logged all output from startup and viewing it I found the problematic symptom early in the startup logs: -- digikam.database: location for "%2Fdata%2Fmaccheroni%2Fpic" is available false digikam.database: location for "/home/kdi/Bilder" is available true digikam.database: location for "/data/local/Bilder" is available true -- So it seems that for whatever reason by whatever process the path to the location has been URL encoded or something similar. When looking into digikam's settings I could confirm it (I seemed to have overlooked that issue before). So for correction I created the same location again (see screenshot) and deleted the old one. Now it took about 3hrs to scan the folder again (I hope the local database has not lost any information), but it works. You can close the ticket, but I don't know, maybe it's worth the effort to find out what caused the path encoding, and maybe there is a more efficient way to fix it than to re-create the new location. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
