[KPhotoAlbum] Upgrade messages I don't understand

Just got the upgrade (from 4.4 - regressed from 4.5) to 4.6 to work. Yay!

Aside from the tiny glitches I mentioned in my previous thread, there
are a couple of things i don't understand.

1) There is the message about letting the database upgrade and then
saving it yourself.

I have read the recent posts on this list explaining it, but I still
don't understand what it's about or what I was supposed to do to "save"
things :"immediately" as soon as the message appeared.

2) I got another pop-up about a tag for untagged images (screenshot
attached) and I don't have any idea what to do with that either.

I selected untagged images from the main KPA panel and it took me to a
dialog for setting an "untagged" tag.

IIRC, there used to be a default tag (I think it was called "Untagged".)
that would get set (or unset - however it worked) when I selected "Done"
on the Annotate images panel. This was something KPA took care of for
me. I don't remember/know how I'm supposed to handle it now.

So far, I have not had to edit anything or add any images, so I have not
clicked on Save yet. So, I get both of the above messages every time I
start KPA. This is as it should be - I just don't want to save things
until I understand what they mean and what I need to do about them.

TIA

Hi Joe!

This is (hopefully) fixed meanwhile. I changed the messages to something
hopefully more clear and added an automatic saving, so that the user only has
to say "OK". Pleas try out the latest git master.

Just check your settings according to the path given. This could probably be
caused by a missed/aborted update (esp. if you use a non-English locale).
Anyway, it will not break anything (apart from the "untagged images" feature
probably not working if you don't select a valid tag).

You should ;-) That is probably the cause for the invalid "untagged images"
message. As said, simply try out latest git master. Does nothing else as 4.6,
but in a more clear way.

If you still don't fully understand what's going on after having read the
messages of git master, please let me know. In this case, we have still to be
more precise or so.
