Re: Migrating to New Computer

As per my understanding there are four files in the digikam folder. All of them should be copied to the new computer.

Simply try it. As you are testing on a copy there should be no risk.

Thank you. I did find this. I also found another article that said, for example, that I should move the digikamrc file from the old to the new computer.

So, perhaps more clearly, the question should be whether i should move any of the configuration files along with the photos and the database file?

I am migrating to a new computer. I have already moved all the picture and video files in the same exact directory structure as the old computer.

I haven't been able to find a definitive description of what I have to do to complete the transition. Can someone point me to the appropriate documentation for completing this transition?

Thank you very much.

Bob
