https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D393068 --- Comment #5 from Maik Qualmann --- I know it's all very technical, but digiKam will not be able to solve this problem automatically. Let's go through the error log for explanation: Here is the core database: > DB Core Name: "/home/username/Pictures/digikam4.db" It has a very old version number (4): > digikam.coredb: Core database: have a structure version 4 DigiKam is trying to update the database, but the album path has not been s= aved to the program configuration for a long time: > digikam.coredb: Core database: Album library path from config file is emp= ty. Here's another hint that the database is very old, the table "TagProperties" does not exist yet: > "SELECT tagid, property, value FROM TagProperties ORDER BY tagid, propert= y;"=20 > Error messages: "Unable to execute statement" "no such table: TagProperti= es" It is possible that the database was damaged by something, but I think it is old. The database could also not by digiKam-5.3.0. been used, the update wo= uld have started also here. Remove the database, digiKam will create a new one. Alternatively, they can look in their system for the current "digikam4.db" = and put them in the settings. There will not be another solution.
