Bug ID: 426791
Summary: Unable to change database location via GUI
Product: digikam
Version: 7.1.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Setup-Database
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ayr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After moving my database to a different location on disk, updating the path to
the new database in "Configure DigiKam"->"Database" does not seem to actually
update the path. Upon restarting digikam, the path still points to the old
database location. Only after manually editing digikamrc, did the path show
correctly. This is with the MySQL internal database option. I am inclined to
think that this probably isn't platform specific.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy an existing mariadb database to a new location disk
2. "Configure Digikam" -> "Database" and update the path to point to the new
path.
3. Restart digikam.
OBSERVED RESULT
On my machine, when digikam restarted, all the albums disappeared. "Configure
Digikam" -> "Databases" shows the old path.
To confirm my hunch that perhaps the digikamrc file isn't be updated, I opened
it and left it open in my editor while I updated the path in digikam and closed
the application. No updates to digikamrc were made (as reported by my editor).
Upon updating the path in digikamrc, restarting digikam shows all my old
albums, and the path in "Configure Digikam" -> "Database" now reflects the new
path.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the updates to the path in the GUI to "stick" (ie, update digikamrc).
I shouldn't have to manually edit digikamrc to change the database location.
