I am seeing the following error when starting Digikam from CLI:

     QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is
still in use, all queries will cease to work

Searching about, the consensus seems to be to rebuild a new database.
Any other ideas out there?

No. I think it's a warning from Qt4 library. It's not a digiKam...

To elaborate a bit:
I see it every time I start digikam from a console, and digikam works
normally. I /think/ the system creates and destroys a test database to see if
the DB part works correctly, but forgets to close a connection first. So all
queries using /that/ /connection/ and database will stop working (it's not the
Digikam database...)

Thanks, yes I agree that the error string appears each time on an
otherwise working system, on SuSE 12.1 at least.

In fact my digikam and database were OK.
I was experimenting with file renaming, both using the rename tool
(Image-Rename) and on Import.
I tried importing a file that was already in an Album, from an SD card,
with a new name created with a customized string in the File Renaming
Options-Customize sidebar. The file did get imported to the Album with
the new name, I could see i in Dolphin,but it would not show as a
thumbnail in Album view

I figured out that if I turned ON "Always show original images" in
Settings-Configure Digikam-Editing Images, then I see them.

So the database and versioning recognize that the same image by two
different file names are related.

I am finally getting organized a bit and seeking to rename my pictures with their creation date. I have two questions/issues that someone may have figured out.
1. I have been setting my camera to local time (UTC-5/4 - USA East Coast). The file times on the SD card are set to that time, but when I use [date:ISO] or a custom date format to rename the file, it treats the file date as UTC and subtracts 4 or 5 hr, depending on my computer setting of DaylightSavings. I see nothing in the Renaming Dialog to stop this, or to deal with Timezone in general. Am I missing something?
1.5 In a related issue, the image metadata appears to be in 24 hour format, but Digikam seems to want to work in AM/PM, which is the way I normally set time for the desktop. Is there a way to get Digikam to use 24 hour clock for naming, but leave the desktop set AM/PM?
2. I tried using

[meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal] as the date, but it appears to return a null string. The DateTimeOriginal value is set in the EXIF Metadata, I can see it in the side panel. Do I need to specify a format? How?

Thanks

Forget about issue 1.5, 24 hour format does seem to work.
I am not sure why I thought it did not.
