Migrate from appimage to flatpack

Hi folks,

I’m using Digikam AppImage release since the early days, but I think that now the flatpak distribution maintained on flathub suites me more.

However, when I try to install it, I always need to follow the first setup wizard to appoint where my images are, where to save my tags…

I just want to make the flatpak installation recognize my current configuration, digikam_rc, DB files, etc.

Does anyone make this work?

Find the config under ~/.var/flatpack and symlink it to whatever the app image used

Sorry, but this definitely doesn’t work, K-1. I’ve tried on a number of occasions to get this working on flatpak, but it’s a disaster.

Very sad, that.

Just move the db and config files to the appropriate place in ~/.var/app. Why bother with a symlink?
