Searches on read only library path

[Domenico Salvagnin]

Hello!

I have just upgraded from 0.7.4 to 0.8.0 and the progress has been really
impressive!

Anyway, I have a little problem. As explained in #114682, I need to use
digikam on a read only library path. In this scenario searches are quite
unusable, since it is not possible to add a search album.
I've developed a 4-line-patch that solves the problem, which allows the
creation of temporary search albums not stored in the db: what have I to do
to submit the patch to the developers (P.S: I've been working on a SVN
repository)?

Thanks

Domenico

Hi Domenico,

open a wish on bugs.kde.org and attach your patch.

Good.  I'll try it when time permits.  Bug reports
with a patch are a good thing.

Achim
P.S. Some general comments: Always one wish per bug report.
In #114682 you listed two.  Don't reference to existing
bugs/wishes, add a comment to them and add your vote
instead of creating a new one.

I know (you already told me), but I cannot turn back time :-)
By the way, if some of you agrees with any of my proposal, I could help with
the implementation: I've studied software engineering and I have some
experience (3 years) in C++ and Qt programming.

Ready and happy to help!

Domenico

Oh, me?  Normally this is Jokeles job ;)  Sorry.

I like the feature. I can't judge if your solution to the
problem is the right (tm) one.

Nevertheless to be really useful at least a
        --library-path /path/to/anther/image/tree
option is needed too.
Only 'complication' here is that --library-path <path> should not
be remembered, e.g.,
        digikam --library-path /path/to/anther/image/tree
and later
        digikam
digikam should _not_ come up with /path/to/anther/image/tree but
again with the 'default' one, e.g., ~/Pictures or whatever was
chosen by the user.

You have have my vote for this 'read-only' feature.  Let's see
what the digikam developers think.

Great!  Feel free to join #digikam on freenode IRC.
Have a look at the wish/bug report on b.k.o and/or
TODO file in svn.
