Problems with database, missing images

[Jaime Suarez]

Hello.

I am having some problems with digikam, probably related with database.

When I run the program it says "this and that file are not in the disk so I have to delete them..." this is not new BUT every time you run the program you get the exact same message, it seems that digikam is not able to delete them from the database. If I manually copy a file with that name to the directory digikam stops complaining but doesn't show the photo.

Another problem is that I can't add new images to albums, the program imports them (and you can see they are there with a file manager) but I can't see them. Also some recent images were "lost" for the program.

After reading a message in this list I tried sqlitebrowser with digikam.db, I can't see anything wrong there except that if Itry to compact the database the program says "Error: could not compact the database file.Message from database engine: constraint failed"

Is there any way I can repair this (not knowing much about databases)?

Thank you in advance.

Sound like you run digiKam 0.9.x. Please start digiKam from a console and look all messages printed. Note that you need debug package installed if you use RPM/DEB package system, or compile with full-debug option (look README file)

Another problem is that I can't add new images to albums, the program imports them (and you can see they are there with a file manager) but I can't see them. Also some recent images were "lost" for the program.

Which file system you use ?

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention:

Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.9
digiKam: 0.9.5-beta3

It's a Debian (testing) system. Let's see if you have enough with this (repeated several times in the console):

QDate::fromString: Parameter out of range
Warning: Makernote: Pointer to next IFD is out of bounds; ignored.

and ¿?

Error: Directory Iop with 8224 entries considered invalid; not read.


I installed the debug package but I don't know how to execute it, I went to /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ and chmoded +x everything but it says
bash: ./digikam: cannot execute binary file

 

Another problem is that I can't add new images to albums, the program imports them (and you can see they are there with a file manager) but I can't see them. Also some recent images were "lost" for the program.

Which file system you use ?

It's Ext3.
 

Thank you again.
