Well for the last point, i'm not agree.

As explained in bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364258, the files must
be moved to new location automatically. No need an extra rules for that.

But for the moment, it's not clear why this is not yet done properly.

O.k., I copied the template.xml from the 4.x location to the 5.x location and
it works. digiKam comes up with my old templates.

But:
>For 4.x, file are located to ~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam/
This is not quite right, at least not for Kubuntu. The correct path is
~/.kde/share/apps/digikam

>With 5.x, file must be moved to ~/.local/share/apps/digikam/
This is also not the path under Kubuntu, it's ~/.local/share/digikam/

>So there is no need a save/load methods for templates.
And here I don't agree as a matter of principle. digiKam is a program for
photographers, i.e. "graphic people", and those like to use GUIs and not moving
around files by browser or even terminal (there are exceptions, I know). And
even if they were willing to go through that "ordeal", how can they know where
to find that file? So the absolute minimum IMHO would be a hint, a tipp within
the template manager where to find that file.

The template file exists in fact. It's based on XML on your home directory.

For 4.x, file are located to ~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam/
With 5.x, file must be moved to ~/.local/share/apps/digikam/

For technical reasons which give crash, the files are not migrated when you
switch from 4 to 5. See this bug for details :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364258

So there is no need a save/load methods for templates.
