Re: Digikam-users Digest, Vol 130, Issue 3

Hi Simon and Lutz

Thanks a lot for your response.
I have followed your advices.
So I have changed the names .
" photos à classer" was changed into "brutsdeshooting" and "Photothèque-01" into "fototekone".
Then I have connected the removable media ( formatted for Mac OS X extended) and I  waited a lot of minutes for the opening Digikam but the two collections were already visible in the left panel.
Then I quit Digikam and disconnect the external hard disc.
When I restart Digikam (removable disc disconnected):
  •  the  album fototekone (located on the removable disc) doesn't appear in the left panel (no directory, no thumbnails)
  • however , in the preferences the collections fototekone is present but has moved from "Collections on removable media " to " local collections" (Screenshot)

Now I connect the removable disc the collection fototekone is not immediatly visible : I must wait a lot of minutes.
So I'm still in trouble.
A ton of thanks for your patience.
Sincerely.
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

I can read the messages correctly as I only read English but what stood 
out for me was characters and spaces in the album names.

In Screenshot-03 note the leading space for "photos a classer". It 
differs to "Phototheque-01".

You also use characters with diacritic marks. It is hard sometimes to 
verify whether all programs, databases, OS understand and accept these 
characters.

Personally I don't use "-" either. I have had problems in the past with 
various programs not working properly because '-" was in path. 
Substitute "_" if a spacer is required.

This may not be the issue but it is worth a try to sanitise your names. 
Only use a-z A-Z 0-9 for paths and album names. See if this works. No 
"~!@$%^&*(){}?<>", spaces or characters with diacritic marks.

Best of luck.

Cheers Simon

Hi Philippe,

As Simon already stated it could be a problem with the names of the
volumes. What kind of file system does the remove media has? That could
be the cause of the trouble, so try to use simple naming and avoid any
diacritic characters.
And I see your collection " Photos à Classer" has a space character in
front. I would avoid that too.

Regards 
Lutz

Hi team,
I have a problem using removable discs with Digikam 4.13.0 on Maxc OS 
X. 10 (Yosemite).
In the Preferences I set the place of the Digikam Data Base on the 
hard disk of my computer (Screenshot  01).
Then I added as Local Collection  an Album located on my computer in 
the Folder "Pictures " and called "Photos à Classer "
Then I added a new collection (called Photothèque 01) located on a 
removable (external) hard disc. At this moment appeared the message 
shown in the screenshot 02 (very hard to understand the meaning ???)
I clicked OK twice to close the Collections window of the Preferences.
All the Album of the removable media was imported very 
well.(Screenshot 03)
Then I quit Digikam and disconnect the removable disc
Now when I re-open Digikam :

  * with the external disc disconnected :
      o  The Album " Photothèque 01" of the removable média doesn't
        appear (Screenshot-04) and in the Preferences I can see that
        the Collection "Photothèque" has moved in the Local
        Collection.(Screenshot 04)
      o if I connect at this moment the external disc the the Album
        "Photothèque-01 doesn't mount".
  * with the external disc connected, the catalog appears quickly but
    I must wait minutes to obtain the thumbnails ???

I don't know if something is wrong in my settings or if it's an issue 
of the program.
Thanks for the help.
Chears.
Philippe

Re: Issue with Digikam and Removable media

Hi Philippe

I am not sure what you mean by "but the two collections were already visible in the left panel".

I can only presume that your installation has remembered your collection/drives.

Try copying all your albums to a backup directory, including any configuration files you can find.

Create a new directory on your hard disk and only copy the images to that directory. You don't need large quantities just enough to test.

Do the same on your external hard disk.

Open digikam. It should appear as if installed for the first time -- i.e. empty. If you have images present or any of your old settings, remove the setting/configuration/database files.

Point this new install to the **new albums**; one on your local drive and the other to your removable media.

If it still does not work try an alternative external device (USB pin, CD). See what happens. With the USB try various disk formats recognisable by Mac. Maybe it something to do with your external drive format.

Doing all this...
- can you see and read your local drive?
- can you see and read your external drive?
- do you have the same symptoms outlined in the original post?

Cheers Simon
