https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190933 Summary: wish to force selection of root directory (when
starting) without changing database
Product: digikam
Version: 0.10.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo:

Version: 0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
I have a dual-boot system (ubuntu/XP) and would need to access the same digikam
picture database from both systems. It seem to me that the only thing stopping
this, is that the root directory in the database is written in the
system-specific format. So if I create the db in windows this will look like
volumeid:?path=D%3A%2FPictures
and if I create it in Linux, it will look like
volumeid:?uuid=F038546838543038
If I change this field I can use the database on the other system, and gain at
least basic functionality of the database (have not done extensive testing, so
there might of course be problems, at least with locales).
The easiest way to handle this would probably be to allow forcing a root
directory in a command line option. This would probably add usability also for
other purposes, like opening copies of the root album directly from removable
devices. Maybe such an option already exist, but I found nothing about command
line options in the documentation.
