Summary: Sharing images among computers and update of local databases Product: digikam Version: unspecified Platform: Compiled Sources OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: [hidden email] ReportedBy: [hidden email] Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources It would be nice if digiKam allowed the user x to "copy" selected albums to a portable drive, x have the images tagged/commented/rated/etc. on another computer (i.e. with a different database) x import the updated images back to local computer (overwriting the old ones) and automatically update the local database for new tags/comments. With 1.0.0-beta2 this is possible only when the user synchronises metadata to images and rebuilding database from scratch (i.e. delete the local database and search for new images). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |

But yes, reading from the individual images' metadata is the way to go currently. In which format would you expect to transfer back the added information from the other machine? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |

--- Comment #2 from Milan Knizek <knizek volny cz> 2009-08-06 18:24:37 --- Even the possibility to re-read metadata from individual messages would be fine in the first stage - currently, this does not work for new (i.e. locally non-existing) tags, only the captions and existing tags are updated in the local database (as assigned to the particular image). The workflow for future could be: 1. On the first computer: in a special plugin / tool: select albums to be copied to the portable device; 2. digiKam would mirror the folder tree (with the images) to a selected root folder on the device and also create a remote database referring to the UUID and the root folder of the portable drive; Also, it would offer if the albums on local computer can be deleted (from disk and database); 3a. on the second computer, the user would open the database from the portable drive and do tagging or editing of images; 3b. if the second computer also has some other collections, the databases could be merged and user offered a possibility to move the collection of images from the portable drive into the local album collection; If during the merger of albums there already exists an old copy, digiKam would overwrite those in case the source is newer then destination. Of course, this could possibly lead to a loss of data if the user edited both versions of images/metadata in the meantime. The same steps can be done to get the images from the second computer back to the first one. This functionality would generally allow to migrate the collections/albums together with the relevant part of the database. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |
