Hi,
The discussion in the "MariaDB 5 and 10 on Synology NAS" thread might be
relevant to the following question, but I'm not sure because I don't use
Windows or NAS.
A "Collection" is just the root folder in which all the "Albums"
(subfolders) are stored. So two questions:
First question:
Is it possible to change the "Collection" location after making a
digiKam database?
Let's say for example one copies the root folder to a different
location, perhaps on the same drive, perhaps on a different drive. Is it
then necessary to read all the images back into digiKam as new images?
Or can the location of the Collection/root folder itself simply be changed?
If it makes a difference, currently I'm using Linux and sqlite, and the
Collections are all on the same machine as the operating system.
I looked in "./config/digikamrc" for a line that allows to change the
Collections location, but apparently this is stored in the database
itself? If so, is there a way to edit the actual database (sqlite and/or
mysql) to change the Collections location?
Second question:
Can a Collection be a soft link to a root folder that is someplace else?
This would seem to allow freely moving the Collection from place to
place by just updating the soft link - would this work?
