how to convert XML comments to database?

[Martin Metz-2]

Hello,

long time ago I used an older version of Digikam, probably 0.6 but I'm
not sure (as part of SUSE 9.1). This version stored comment texts for
images in one XML file per folder.

Now I updated to open SUSE 10.3 which contains Digikam 0.9.2.
All my old albums/photos were converted to the new version. But no
comment texts of the photos are now known in the system!
As far as I understood until now all this data are stored within an
internal DB.

What can I do to convert the XML texts to the new database?
I would not be happy to read all this texts from XML and add it to the
new version manually.

Thanks for you help,

Martin Metz

Martin,

This subject have been already discuted in the pass in this room.

The only way to be able to import XML content generated by old digiKam 0.6 is to update progressivly to 0.7 release, and later 0.9

In the pass, when digiKam been hosted to sourceforge.net (repository + mailing list), i remember a script written by Renchi Raju to process this job... but i cannot re-found it.

The database schema used with current release is available here :

If you is a script guru, perhaps you can make a little tool for that...

Best
