[Bug 297922] New: different database locations for thumbnails

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297922

            Bug ID: 297922
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: [hidden email]
           Summary: different database locations for thumbnails
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: [hidden email]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Database
           Product: digikam

I have a slow internet connection, yet want to share my collection with my
family.
When I have both databases (digischeme, digithumbs) in a mysql database on my
server it works fine, but is extremely slow.
If I could specify different database locations I could store a copy of
digithumbs locally while digischeme remains on the external server.

We plan to implement DLNA support in digiKam, through a new kipi-plugins. This
will not a solution to your problem to share collections on local network ?

my problem is the internet -.-''
we don't have a LAN connection, therefore I want to store the images and
thumbnails locally (because they don't need too much updating, yet are big) and
the rest on my server (accessible over the internet) to keep it in sync

If the DLNA support allows me to specify a different location for my images AND
thumbnails it would be a solution

In principle the thumbnail location is not bound to the main db location. I'm
not sure though if with the configuration UI it's currently possible. For
SQLite, editing the config file would probably be sufficient, I'm not sure
about MySQL.

I would like to support this wishlist feature for a different reason:
separating the location of the main database from the thumbnails database would
allow users to place the thumbnail database on fast SSD storage, and the main
database on slow, redundant storage.

--- Comment #7 from Simon <[hidden email]> ---
The workaround mentioned in Comment 3 to set this manually in the config file
does not work in current digiKam version (5.1.0 devel). See duplicate bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366092
Digikam automatically resets a different thumbnail database location to main
database location.
