Current Lightroom user looking to switch

digikam-2
Hi,

I'm a Lightroom user that's looking for an exit. Lightroom is my last
Windows application (that I run under vmware). Everything has moved to
Linux except for LR.

* Is there a document or some writeup on how to move from LR to dK
  for the main operations?
* I have an existing directory ~/library with dozens of
  sub-directories with all my photos (~30 thousand). All the photos
  have their XMP, about 700Gb worth. Do I move them directory by
  directory or dK can "suck it" in. How would I set that up?

Hi
I have digiKam only  running on MS W7 but also tried to set it up on MacBoo Air Yosemite but in wain.
My story:

At start I put the database on USB 2T drive H:\digiKam\

And Collection on removable media H\0_digital_images

Under the mother folder H\0_digital_images are all my sub folder with images

It took digiKam some minutes to scan the sub folders before the thumbnails showed up in the Album Pane and Workspace

Later I have put in new sub folders with images and renamed some - for digiKam it seem to be OK and the program takes a minute or two to reorganize the albums.

mk.

ps.
I am only using digiKam a database and behind it I am working with Photoshop/illustrator Adobe CS5.
