I checked the ~/.kde/share/config/ for digikamrc and that file does not exit. I would think that it would not be neccessay to check that file for my photos. I have a folder called Pictures in my home directory. It contains my albums and the digikam3db file. I guess what I am really concerned about is that the digikam3db file may not be compatible with the Centos 5 version of digikam. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097
