--- Comment #3 from Gerry Matte <ge...@gerrymatte.ca> --- Thank you Maik for your suggestions. I was able to generate a startup log and during the process the original error window displayed again. See attachment. That error suggested I try again "with an empty database." So I deleted the 33 MySql tables in my "Pictures" database, rebooted so the active debug variable was dropped, and then ran digiKam again - it successfully rebuilt the tables and then queried me for my pictures collection. After processing my pictures, digiKam was fully operational. I did however lose the three hours of facial recognition data ..... but I can redo that process some other time. It bothers me however that a MySql backup file could not be used to successfully restore digiKam's database. Since the MySql server resides on my Linux root partition and I keep my user data on a different "home" partition (where my backups reside) perhaps digiKam should be given the ability to save and restore database backups itself. Can you consider this as a feature request for a future version ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
