I deleted a lot of duplicate photo's (outside DigiKam with dupeguru) and let DigiKam rescan/regenerate all of my thumbnails and fingerprints. Finaly I let DigiKam search for duplicates again. DigiKam still shows all the duplicates that are defenitely gone from disk.
I tried a "cleanup_digikamdb -t" but that doesn't make any difference.
Any idea how to clean up my databases so it matches my filesystem again (without starting over from scratch)?
I am using Kubuntu 14.10 and Digikam 4.11.0 from philips ppa
Cheers, Sjoerd

Hi Sjoerd,
I let digiKam write all necessary metadata into the image files. And once a year I move away the old digiKam database and let digiKam create a fresh new one, based on the image's metafiles. This, of course, depends, what one considers "necessary metadata", since not every metadata can be stored in images, I guess. In my case, I want "tags", "captions" and "star rating", which can be written to image files very well. In an additional paranoia level, I take screenshots of the old tag tree, with all tag counters visible and compare those against the new tag counters. Same for "star rating".

Hi Peter,
Yeah that might be the best clean-up ;)
