           Summary: problems with albums who's name start as the album
                    library path
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: george avramoiu ro


Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-386

My album library path is /poze ; I copied there a folder from another machine called "poze nunta Erol"; when starting dikigam it kept telling me that it has some pictures to remove from the database because they are not on the disk, this pics were from the new folder; also I saw in digikam that I had an empty album called " nunta Erol"; I tried changing the spaces to underlines but no change, the album was now "_nunta_Erol". I fixed it by removing "poze" from the name of the new folder.

Hi,

from your description, I am not sure whether the problem
is already caused from the process of copying.
When using directories (or filenames) with spaces,
it is very important to protect them from being split into
parts. (Personally I would strongly recommend to use
either underscores from the very beginning, or write
"PozeNuntaErol" instead of "poze nunta Erol", but this is surely
a matter of taste).

Could you try the whole procedure in systematic way:
a) copy the files from one computer to the other,
   under the directory name /poze (where all your images are, right).
   In this step digikam should not be running.
   Which command do you use for copying?
b) Then check, whether the files ended up in the right plac
   and that no additional directories were created
   (e.g. due to spaces in the Directory names and insufficient
   quoting during the copying)
c) Start digikam and see how the new folder is scanned.
d) leave and enter digikam: no problems should arise.

Also note that 0.9.2 packages are out for kubuntu, see
http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/binary/
(However, I don't think that your problem is affected by
upgrading. Still the feature improvements are worth
an update ;-).

Best, Arnd

I tried with the version from repos (0.9.2-final) and it's the same; I tried compiling it from svn, but after two hours I gave up.

Last name the folder had was "nunta_Erol"; after installing the new version I started digikam and everything was ok; I closed it, and "mv nunta_Erol/ poze_nunta_Erol"; when I started digikam it asked for confirmation to delete the album "nunta_Erol" because it was removed from the disk, then it scanned the library, and asked for confirmation to delete a big list of pics from the "_nunta_Erol" album because they are not on the disk; so at least at the startup scan, it can see the folder; but I think there's a problem with its database.

The folder was copied using scp from the other maching and at file system level everything was ok (no multiple folders, etc).


I did another test, I created a folder "/pics", change the library path to this folder, closed digikam, created a sub-folder "pics album" and copied a picture there, then opened digikam.. same problem; I attached two screenshots.

root mormy:/usr/lib# mkdir /pics
root mormy:/usr/lib# chown georgeav:georgeav /pics
georgeav mormy:/poze$ mkdir /pics/pics\ album
georgeav mormy:/poze$ cp ./poze_nunta_Erol/img_5609.jpg /pics/pics\ album/


screenshots:

Also, on another system I have the library path in /arhive/everyone/digikam ; I tried creatin an album "arhive everyone digikam new" and "arhive\everyone\digikam new" and it was ok, no problem (I couldn't create "arhive/everyone/digikam new" :-) ). So I think this problem is only if the library path is a folder in the root folder.

Concerning the first problem: you should not move any folders around outside of digikam when they are below digikams image root.
DigiKam does not know on restart where they were moved.

I am not sure if I understand the rest ...
This does not sound like "a space in filename issue", or?
