Bug ID: 364258 Summary: Upgrade to 5.0 (beta6) and "Migrate Database" destroys tags and location data of ALL photos Product: digikam Version: 5.0.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: Database-Migration Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org Reporter: jens-bugs.kde....@spamfreemail.de So I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 to be able to test Digikam 5beta6. After the upgrade, I started Digikam 5 and was a little surprised that it did not offer to import / migrate / update the Digikam 4 database I already had, but behaved like a new installation. (Is this intentional during the beta phase so that production (Digikam 4.14) and testing (Digikam 5) can be kept separate?) Since digikam did not detect my Digikam4 library I went to Settings > Database Migration and clicked "Migrate" with the default settings (SQlite format and the same path on both sides, after all, Digikam 5 did not find my library, so it probably uses another file name!) But it didn't work, even afterwards Digikam did not find my library. What's more, after closing and reopening Digikam 4.14, it did not display any photos - and all my locations, tags, album comments and so on were gone!!! It seems they were deleted from digikam4.db; the "Tags" table was empty, so was the "Settings" table and some others. IMHO there should be no way of doing this. Digikam should warn before overwriting data or modifying it so that an old version cannot read it any more. (Was this even the right procedure to get Digikam 5 set up?)
