Multiple databases under Digikam
This
applies to you if you want to have multiple databases under Digikam
and you are using Ubuntu 10.10 and Digikam 2.0.0 beta 4. I do not
know till what extend this applies to other versions or systems.
Why should you want that:
If you have a huge photo collection and
specially when you work on a laptop with external usb drive it can
become slow to work with. Or, if you have completely different kinds
of collections in your database, and you perform a search you may
want to confine it to a certain part of your collections.
In either case it would be more
conveniant to have multiple databases.
How can you make it happen:
Although the emphasis in the found
documentation (by me) is strong on having all collections in one
root
(=database) it is perfectly possible to have more.
Goto Settings->Configure
Digikam->database, click the icon and choose a new path for a
database, and add your collection. At this place you can switch your
databases anytime.
If someone can do it, this tip might be suiteble to be put on the
developers blog on the digikam homepage so it comes available to
more people.
Kind regards,
Rinus
