Hi Gandalf,
Thank you for your reply. As I have no raw files, this solution should do
(thanks for the sync all images suggestion). I was planning to keep the same
structure anyway, so again no problems. Will see if the db upgrade succeeds in
any case.
Thanks again,
Sava

digiKam records all meta info to a database (rating, comments, tags,
etc...) So, read only files can be metadated.
With 0.9.x, database file is stored to root folder of your collection.
When you start 0.10.0, we check if DB file is present and we start to
convert to new schema. A new DB file is created. Old one stil
untouched.
If none old DB file is found at root folder, we scan image metadata to
create new DB file.
To be clear, nothing will lost.

I tried this on Mandriva 2009.0 (the package name is the same) and I can
confirm, it works. I got thumbnails for my videos, also in digikam.
thanks for the suggestion

Subject: [Digikam-users] Canon icc files
To: [hidden email]
Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I recently moved to a Canon 50D camera and am trying to find the appropriate
icc file for raw conversion.
Canon provides with their software a lot of icc files but there is no
indication which file set belongs to which camera.
Since Canon provides different files for 'neutral', 'landscape' etc is there
a way in DK to easily make such a switch?
