[Bug 189362] New: After moving the collection on a new HD, Digikam doesn't find it

           Summary: After moving the collection on a new HD, Digikam
                    doesn't find it
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.3-r2 p1.1, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.3

OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

On Linux, I have added a new disk and I have changed the mouting point where
was stored my collection. So, the collection is in the same directory but on a
new disk.
When I start Digikam, it doesn't find it and I loose all my thumbnails, album
dates...

Is there a way to associate a new path to an old collection ?

I would like to mark this as duplicate for 175923 because it requires the same
solution.

digikam will find your partition by the UUID and store the path from that
partition's mount point on (mount point is not relevant).
In the absence of a nice tool to do the job, and if you want to keep your album
thumbnails descend to the digikam4.db database file and change the UUID of your
old disk to your new partition's one. Something like
UPDATE AlbumRoots SET identifier='volumeid:?uuid=...' WHERE id=...;
Ask back if it doesnt work

Completely different: You cannot do much about the image thumbnails if the
_mount path_ changed (They are stored by path hash. In fact, it is possible to
write a script that takes the old path and the new path, the hashes and renames
the thumbnails. I dont know of such a tool so far)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 175923 ***

Yes, I solved the problem by dumping the database with sqlite3 and by replacing
the old disk UUID by the new one.
It works but it's not really user-friendly (In my case, as my mount path hasn't
changed, I retrieved all my thumbnails, album dates...).
Thank you for your quick answer (and as usual, for your work).
