Hi Gilles,

Is there a way to preserve configuration? Does digikam 5 start all over, or
does it keep information in the existing digikam database? Do I need backup?

Kindly,
Anders

It's always better to backup all.

But typically Sqlite DB is not changed and it use it as well.

The Mysql Database change, due of lots of bugs. It's safe to restart it from scratch.

There is a bug about general settings (digikamrc files). The place is different to store KDE application rc files and digiKam ignore for the moment the older one.

Look this entry :

I made a backup, and ran digikam 5. It read the database fine, but the
application configuration was appearently lost.

yes exactly. the previous digiKam configuration is not lost, it's not read from older place where rc files are stored.

Before to ask me why we don't do it and why we don't close this file before to release 5.0.0 :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364258

... well we have seen some crash when specific old settings are taken from old RC files. We have not find which one exactly crash digiKam.

So releasing digiKam 5.0.0 without to support older settings is better. We start with a fresh configuration.

No problem, just the appearence of the first config dialog was a bit scary,
because of the idea of it not using the database :)

Hello,

Congratulations for the 5.0.0 release ! 

Unfortunately, I found a bug : when you want to export pictures by mail, and choose to adjust picture parameters (size, quality, etc), the new mail created doesn't contain any pictures attached. 
When you don't use automatic picture adjustment (pictures remain in native size and format), the mail has the pictures attached. 

That is quite anoying, because this function is the more I use. 

System : 
Archlinux 64 bit, up to date
Plasma 5.7
Qt 5.7
KF5 5.23

Thank you for your help.

Paul
