I am moving everything to a new PC. On this new machine, not all folders will have the same paths as on the old PC. Does this mean I have to rebuild the whole Digikam database and re-do all the facial recognition work, or is there a way to migrate the database and take into account that photos are in new locations?
If the structure of the folders and subfolders is the same, my guess is that you can update the path from here:
In that case digikam will try to relink all the pictures updating the database.
If you save xmps sidecar files within your folders, then you can rebuild the database no matter the structure as all the info are in the sidecar file.
