[digiKam-users] Folders cannot be deleted in my collection.

[Maik Qualmann]

After the error messages, part of the database tables no longer exist. The database cannot be repaired. You could try creating a new database using the Database Migration Tool. Or just start with a new database. Please also check your hard disk for errors.

Hello Gilles. 

Yes i agree of course. But now what can i do? The only way i see is to dele the DB and then update all my tags from the beginning but if there were a better way .. i would prefer. 

The other thing i d like to know is what and when it went wrong, not to have the same disease again. Thinking of the way i managed digikam, i suppose that there is something special with the "deplace" command with folders because i ve always had little troubles while doing that, maybe you could tell me more about it?  Anyway in the future i will save the db automatically.

 

Waiting for your advices. Thank you for the help.

Hello.

Nobody has answered to my last post that included the error messages after launching digikam ...

I did another try , launching Digikam from Konsole as Maik told me with the quick option (no DB control). You can find the text in the file joined with my mail.

I hope it will help somebody to answer me.

regards.

Thank you Maik for your help but i have checked that and no digikam.db is
not write-protected. Folders are created but are not deleted.

i ve given another try by renaming a folder and .... it gives 2 folder
with the same new name with the pictures un each of them. Then, if i try
to renam one of them again it will give 2 new folders with the new name
with pictures inside AND the older one with no pictures!!! Please help me
to go out this nightmare .. :-)
Maybe i can run digikam in a verbose mode and try to find where the

Hello .

I am running Digikam on opensuse 15.1 the version is 6.0 and i ve migrated
from opensuse 15.0.

A strange thing occurs in this new version: After having taggued my
pictures in a folder i used to transfer it in an another named "Taggued"
(I have a lot of pictures to tag and this way i know what has been done
and what is left to).

When i do so the ancient folder is still there with no more photos in
it??? If i try to delete it, the soft will answer OK the first time but
the folder is still there, then if i try again the soft will say "this
folder doesn t exist" ....  It s very ennoying because i now have these
empty folders that i cant manage (impossible to rename by the way). In my
real tree of folders they don't exist so i think the problem comes from
the Dbase .... Can someone please help me.

Thank you.

Hello. 

It seems that having "migrate" from the original folder to a new one, the DB is now ok! From the few pictures i have controlled, the tags and geolocation ate still there and i can rename folders. No more error messages while launching in the console either.

"Tout est bien qui finit bien". 

 

Now i still have one or two questions :-) : Is there any option to save the DB automatically in the soft?

And what is the correct way to move or copy photos or/and folders with Digikam? (because i feel the problem came from that kind of handlings).

Thank you. Waiting for you advices. 

Yves.

In digiKam, no.

To backup a database,this one must be locked (aka all digiKam instance
stop to run), and a dump can be processed. Mariadb and Mysql provide a
tool for that.

For sqlite, when digiKam is down, just copy the database in
versionning repository (git for ex). I'm sure that you can found
delegate script for this task that you can cron.

drag and drop is fine...
