From Digikam 0.6 on MdV2005 to Digikam 0.9 on Mdv2007 : How to convert the database

[Jean-Luc Pinardon]

Dear all,

My family and I are happy Digikam french users.
But everybody is sad since I have upgrade to Mdv2007 and so, Digikam 0.9.

If I have all clearly understood, 0.6 configuration and photo management was
based on a file, while it now (since 0.7 ?) based on an embedded SQLite db.
So the tool complains because it cannot recognize the db structure.

Is there a way to convert the current (old) configuration file to a SQLite db ?

Thanks for your help, and for this nice tool.

Best Regards,
J.L.

I remember than the old digikam author (Renchi Raju) have been proposed in
this room a script for that. I'm not sure than you can find this file in this
ML archive because we have migrated from SF.net to kde.org between 0.6 and
0.8.

I don't have this script. Take a look in the digikam-user or digikam-devel ML
archives from sourceforge.net and kde.org if you can find it.

Also perhaps someone have a copy of this script in this room, or can reproduce
it ?

Hello,

Thanks for your quick answer.
For now on, I can't find this script.
I will continue to search.
Nevertheless, I have understood (am I true ?) that Digikam 0.7 should
automatically convert old XML db file to SQLite db.
So, I currently try to compile Digikam 0.7 from source on a
/opt/Digikam directory.
But even after I have loaded devel rpm for dependencies,
I always have an error:
make[2]: entrant dans le répertoire «
/opt/Digikam/digikam-0.7/digikam/libs/widgets »
source='imagepreviewwidget.cpp' object='imagepreviewwidget.lo' libtool=yes \

I really cannot manage to find out where is the problem ?

Thanks for your highlights if you could help.
Best regards, and have a good evening.

J.L.P.

Jean-Luc,

I make no promises (due to time constraints primarily), but I'm willing
to look at the XML file and see if I can reconstruct the migration
script.  If I can, Gilles et al can put it somewhere safe :)

0.7.4 compiles by the way, while 0.7.0 won't.  I haven't checked the
source to see if it has the appropriate converter.

Dear all,

Thanks for your helps.
I have compiled sucessfully and with absolutely no difficulty the 0.7.4 version.
And it has correctly find again my old albums and tags.

Well, now I have a freshly installed O.8.2-7 version, it has converted again the
database (from SQLite2 to SQLite3, I guess) and now it works well.
I have found again all the photos and albums.
So, it seems to be OK.
Note that I had erroneously mentioned that I had installed a 0.9 version with
Mdv2007. It was actually a 0.8. Sorry for the mistake.

Well, have a good evening, and thank you very much for the help.
Merci Beaucoup ;)

Jean-Luc
