Image showing digikam failing to create an initial database
kipi-plugins, digikam, and gwenview were patched extensively through the following GIT hashes: ba22066e 2012-04-12 0f64ac7c 2012-04-12 207d90d4 2012-04-12 6029a164 2012-04-12 70de38f0 2012-04-12 fe80f963 2012-04-12 1d778205 2012-04-12 303be455 2012-04-12 1eac443e 2012-04-12 ce3d59a5 2012-04-12 The packages build without errors. The problem reported here now seems resolved. |
Created attachment 537 [details] Image showing digikam requesting to create an initial database When starting digikam for the first time, digikam creates an empty database container. In Trinity (GIT) this always fails. When asked to create the database, I accept the defaults as shown in the first attached screen grab. Then digikam scrolls through the various messages in the splash image. At the point when the messages say "Scan Albums" the process stops. Refer to the second attached screen grab. The message dialog is misleading because there are no permission problems. The error message string appears in albummanager.cpp. Looking at the sources indicates there is some kind upgrade test with the database. I don't understand what could be happening because the database is being created for the first time. I can create a new database in KDE3 and copy that to my profile and then the Trinity digikam does not complain.
