The external SQL server option is fantastic for managing family photos across a lot of computers since it makes it possible to have a powerful machine (i.e. desktop) index the photos, and then all the computers in the house can browse the collections without having to do the work of indexing/updating everything all the time.
I've been trying to get this working, but I've run into issues with the paths. My Linux VM indexes everything just fine and puts it in an SQL database. My clients can connect to the SQL database. The problem is my Windows clients flip out because /media/FamilyNAS/Photos is not available, despite the fact that Z:\Photos is available. Is there a component of Digikam I am missing where you can tell a client "for you, this path is where this collection is" or does this feature not exist yet? If this was ironed out Digikam would be usable on a massive scale for home and business use.
Thanks,
