Collection on NAS/Sambda
Locked
 
|
Hi, I'm using Digikam on Kubuntu 15.04 and have no luck setting up collection on NAS. The configure dialog has "Collections on Network Shares" item, but when I select a samba location, nothing happens. The collection is not added, and no error message is shown either. The introduction text in same configure dialog say remote file systems (such as ... Sambda mounted via cifs/smbfs) are supported - however I'm not sure how cifs mount will work on a laptop that often is not near NAS. Some earlier emails in this list say Samba works fine, but give no details. Could somebody tell: - Can I directly use Sambda locations - If I should mount with cifs, what's the recommended setup? Shall I use automount - What location should I specify in "Add Collection" dialog if I use a Sambda location? - There are statements that SQLite does not work well on network shares - is that a concerns, or will Digikam automatically use a local location for database? Thanks in advance, Volodya _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Volodya,
Hi How are you? I can give some tips based on digiKam 4.9.0 because 4.10.0 is not scanning my collections for some reason. Although it is a Ubuntu server, my clients are Windows so things may be a little different for you. My Linux server has a Samba shared named "library", so I add \\<ip>\library\Photos in the "Collection on Network Shares". The given share is already mounted as a Windows driver letter, so I don't have to care about user and password in digiKam. I am not sure if it is that simple in Linix client. IF you are trying digiKam 4.10.0, I would downgrade to 4.9.0 in order to make the setup given my own experience with 4.10.0 for Windows.
