Is the Digikam configuration all stored in the database?
I'd like to run two independent instances of Digikam to facilitate cleaning up my self inflicted mess. One instance would point to the current data store, the other to the new data store as I'll migrate content to. By data store I mean the collection folder on the computer. -- Michael Rasmussen, Portland Oregon Be Appropriate && Follow Your Curiosity Man, if you have to ask what it is, you'll never know. ~ Louis Armstrong _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Look into you home directory, ./config/... digikamrc. All settings is stored in this text file.

From examining that I see no references to the collection of photos on the physical drive. This, I believe, means I can do something like: digikam --database-directory /path/to/new/database and it will act upon the collections defined in that database. Settings, UI elements, and everything except for the databases and their managed photo collections will be shared. Is this correct? If so I can edit my system menus to create two launch points for digikam and run them independently. Please advise if there might be a problem with this idea. Not to worry - I have my full photo collection backed up on another computer.

Except the path to the root of the collection which would really help in
running the same db from different machines. Ideally all paths in the db should be relative to the root and the root should come from digikamrc. This will also make it easier to relocate the collection or replace a failing disk by avoiding any need to hand edit the db.

Quick thoughts:
That implies the path to the root of the collection is the same on each machine. That information to the path of the album is stored in the db. Excellent for my use. If all paths in the DB are relative to a Digikam root how is it to handle file system paths that do not share a common root?

That is what you have to do now as it stands unless you know the undocumented hand edits you can make to the db to add multiple roots to the same collection. With my suggestion each machine could have its own digikamrc file and hence allow having different paths to the root of each collection. > That information to the path of the album is stored in the db. Excellent for my use. Without you telling us what your use is I cannot answer this. > If all paths in the DB are relative to a Digikam root how is it to handle file system > paths that do not share a common root? Not a digikam root but a collection root. digikam allows you to have more than one collection.
