Hi Gilles,

Do you plan to include this or something similar before the 5.1.0 release?
This is a major reason why digikam 5 is still in the experimental 
repository on debian. The "compatibility break" without any notice is 
considered a major issue for the user.

Cheers,
Simon

Created attachment 100439
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=100439=edit
Add information about configuration transition to welcome screen.

I agree that this is a very important point for the user. Of course ideally the
transition problems would be removed, but as always: This is open-source, if
you want it done, do it.
I attached a patch that adds information about the (non-)migration of the
configuration to the welcome screen.

I think as well that the current non-existing migration process from digikam 4
to 5 is pretty user unfriendly. I wondered also why I had to reconfigure
everything and my templates were gone. After some searching, I found this bug.
At least, my database wasn't fucked up. Since several bad experiences with
digikam breaking its db, I'm very cautious in this regard. 

I would have expected at least a piece of information somewhere that the config
paths changed. It shouldn't be so hard to implement a notice in the first-run
wizard. Alternatively, one could ask the user if he did use digikam 4 before
and if so, display some warnings. You could explain that the config path did
change and that the files can be copied by the user at own risk.
Furthermore, is there any reason why you do not make a copy of digikam4.db and
save it as digikam5.db (although the db didn't change)?

Here the migration was failed. It has removed all the databases entries :(
Here is a sample of messages when it scan the databases the 1st run :

digikam.database: Creating new Location  "/"  uuid 
"volumeid:?path=%2Fhome%2Fdomi%2FPhotos"
digikam.database: location for  "%2Fhome%2Fdomi%2FPhotos"  is available  true

digikam.database: Folder does not exist or is not readable: 
"%2Fhome%2Fdomi%2FPhotos"

Now, when it starts, I have this message :
digikam.database: Folder does not exist or is not readable: 
"%2Fhome%2Fdomi%2FPhotos"

Why %2F in place of slash ? it should be /home/domi/Photos" ??!!!
in digikamrc file, the path is correct :
Album Path=/home/domi/Photos
Database File Path=/home/domi/Photos

I have migrated another user successfully, and his folder appears correctly
with slash in path not %2F...

I think it's a clue.

Backups are a must anyway. (IMHO: Just install deja-dup and setup some remote
storage (a NAS or a cloud service) and stop thinking about it.)

Specifically, did you narrow down your search about 4.x settings digikam 5 so
that I can help doing some bisect testing?

Alexey,

This is not implemented because we seen that old digikam 4.x settings from
digikamrc file crash violently the application and we haven't yet identified
which one exactly.

You must always make a backup of your database before a major update.

That's amazing! The bug is there for a month and I guess the developers
understand its consequences and the fix is not very complex. Guess what? I've
just overwritten my old digikam4.db in the migration dialog without digikam
asking for any confirmation. Years of tags are lost. Well done digikam devs!
