[Bug 219202] New: digikam database on multiple hosts

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219202

           Summary: digikam database on multiple hosts
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have 2 hosts and i use 'unison' to sync the collection directory to see it on
both.   Until i upgrade Digikam3 to Digikam4, the digikam3.db database was read
bye digikam  very well bye the two hosts. Now after upgrading to the new 1.0
beta then rc version of digikam, the digikam4.db is not read  on the host on
which it was not create. Digikam ask me to choose between a local or a
removable. The database file can't to be share between the 2 hosts ?? Is it a
regression or a bug.  Sorry for my english

Digikam will see that the two places are different, if you really have stored
your images on two different harddisks. If it's stored on a network share, you
should add the collection as a "network collection". There is also a solution
available to only identify a collection by mount path, by changing the
identifier in the database.

You say: "Digikam will see that the two places are different":
this was not the case with digikam3, i think it is a regression, why not put a
relative path in the database or envisage to setting this in preferences with
the same behavior as the old version of digikam. It is really handicapping for
me, and i m not alone i think, it s not always possible to be near a network.
My wife and me can t now look at our 4000 pictures with digikam on our own
host. To avoid to wait long minutes that the database to be rebuild completly,
i remove digikam4db from the second computer and leave on it the old
digikam3.db so the database quickly rebuild partially. But you will acknowledge
this is not a solution.

you say:"There is also a solution available to only identify a collection by
mount path, by changing the identifier in the database."
What value for identifier to have the same path on the 2 hosts. Is it possible
to name it without any report with the mount path or the volume: can i replace
"volumeid:?uuid=4d4762ef-3f13-48cb-805a-0e6168040125" bye for example "My
photos" ?
If it is possible, why not put it in the digikam setting interface ?

What you need it "volumeid:?mountpath=%2Fyour%2Fmountpath". I'm not absolutely
sure but I think the / characters and any non-ASCII char in the path need to be
percent-encoded like for any URL.
You should be able to get the same effect if you add the collection as a
network collection - these are identified by mount path only currently (until
we have found better solutions)

The problem is that after make change in database and restart digikam, it
reinit the identifier to "volumeid:?uuid=4d47...".
sorry ;(

It s ok if i put only "volumeid:?mountpath=%2F" in identifier and
"the/complet/path/to/the/collection" in specificPath.
Then i arrange symbolic links with the same path on the second host  and it
seems ok.
...ouf!
Thank you Marcel and good luke but i really hope this feature to be improve for
the 1.0 version
