[Bug 237514] New: DigiKam fails to read the tag metadata when importing a digikam3.db database

Bugzilla from paul.chaffey@gmail.com
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237514

           Summary: DigiKam fails to read the tag metadata when importing
                    a digikam3.db database
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

I have my digikam database from an older version which is still in the
digikam3.db format. When I first start DigiKam in Kubuntu 10.04 I am asked the
normal question if I want to upgrade my database. I answer yes, and everything
proceeds as expected. The Album appears correctly, but none of the tags held in
the digikam3.db database are propagated to the new database.

Help -> Database Statistics -> Tags = 0

I have read that having the database file on an NFS share can cause problems. I
have tried moving the digikam3.db file to a local disk, but I have not had any
luck.

I am relatively technical, and would be happy to try anything you suggest to
get this problem sorted (I am not looking forward to re-tagging the full photo
collection ;) ).

I would attached the digikam3.db file to this bug report, but there does not
seem to be an attachment mechanism. I can email it if this helps.

Regards, Paul.

That is the old database, isn't it?
There are no tags left in it.
So if it's the old one, that's not an upgrade problem, there's nothing to
upgrade.
(Btw, the Tags and ImageTags table is not touched at all by the upgrading
process.)

Hi Marcel,

thanks for the reply.

I am a little confused (not an uncommon occurrence :) ). The digikam3.db
file I attached to the bug report is the only file
I have for the picture library. I agree its old (probably from Kubuntu Repos
from about 8.10. I had tagged each picture
with a persons name and location etc - for example "Luan" should exist in
many photos. I have opened the digikam3.db file
in kate and even though its a binary I can still read it a bit, but I cannot
find a tag with "Luan" - so I agree there seems to
be no tagging information.

I would load the file into a sqlite client if I was a bit more sql aware.

So my question now is that if the tags are not present in the database file,
and also they were not attached to the image files
themselves, where would the older version of digikam store them ?

Many thanks, Paul.

All digikam versions from about the last five to ten years will have saved tags
to the database. Definitely versions from 2008.
Maybe there is another db file which has actually been used by digikam?
Remember older versions required the db to be in the same directory as the
pictures, but with the database file over NFS not working, hacks were made up
with symbolic links to the db file on local storage.
If you tagged with a digikam version >= 0.10, the file will be named
digikam4.db.

Hi Marcel,

I have found my tags - very good news. I have inadvertently removed the
digikam4.db file from the directory where the Album is. BTW, the digikam3.db
file was a leftover from way back it seems.

I see that now photos are not appearing yet, but this is due to the album
directory existing on an NFS drive I guess.

So I can see the tags in the DigiKam application - so please close the bug.

Thanks for your help,  Paul.
