I am networking our home, and I would like to install Digikam on the
server. Users will open digicam via X forwarding over SSH. What issues must I be aware of if multiple people use it at the same time? We will genreally be adding tags, moving photos to different folders, importing photos, and deleting photos. Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

first digiKam instance will have full DB access. All other instances
will have a read only DB access.

Thanks. > best way is probably instaling freenix and opening a session on the server (for each user) Digikam (old version, kde3) used to build the database on the folder pointed to by the config, so one can use as many database as wanted (I use this often). New (kde4) allow creating one database and as many "collections" as you want. I beg the best way of working is to allow a different database for each user. You can then open the locations and have read access to all the images but write access only on you own base this may ask for an other level: better make the various users have write acces to they own images (at the system level, make write disabled for group, for example) to prevent problems However, never tried so complicated thing jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

the future is already in the way.
Porting digiKam database interface to MySql is already complete. We need to test indeep all cases to see if all work fine. this is the most long stage. After that, supporting multiple account will be easy to do... Gilles 2009/10/25 Dotan Cohen <[hidden email]>: >>> Thanks, but we want the same tags and folder structure across the >>> house.
