[digiKam-users] How to Start Over from Scratch

[Kris]

Hi!

Now that I've had a chance to play with the program for a bit, I find
that I need to start fresh and clean, but I'm having a bit of trouble
doing that.  I've used all the search terms I can think of, but they are
apparently not the right ones.

I've uninstalled -- several times (Revo Uninstaller) -- and
re-installed, including deleting app data and the database(s), but
apparently there's a configuration file somewhere that I'm missing.  I
don't get the installation wizard when I reinstall and my configuration
is getting more and more unwieldy as I continue my attempts.

I'd like to know where the program's file locations are so I can make
sure all the of them are deleted and start from the beginning.

DigiKam v. 7.1 on Win 10 using Sqlite

Thanks!

Hi,

Configuration file is created in your home directory.

Typically here : ~/.config/digikamrc

Renaming or removing it will solve your problem.

Best

Thank you for the prompt response but, unfortunately, that file doesn't
seem to be the issue as my .config director is empty and does not
contain it.  I'm doing a search now to see if it's in a different
location, but it is proving to be a long, slow process, so I was
wondering if you had any other thoughts?

Thanks!

You are on Windows and the path is:

C:\User\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\digikamrc

Thank you for the help on this.  I'm not sure why those files weren't
removed the first three times I tried it!  But I've got my clean install
working now.  :-)
