Storing Albums

[Mark Phillips]

How can I put my albums on a remote file server? Do I use smb or some other
remote sharing facility.

Can I run digikam on my laptop to connect to the camera, but put all the
images and albums on a remote server on my network?

Thanks!

The application is great!

Warning:  I haven't tried this, it's based on knowledge of KDE.

If you're using KDE along with digiKam, then you may be able to specify the
album root location as smb://some.smb.server/path, or
fish://some.ssh.server/path.

I have tried this:

I happen to have an SMB server mounted via fstab, and while digiKam allows me
to choose a path under that mount point, it seems to have frozen.  I also
seem to be unable to start digikam again now.. time to edit the .rc file.


So maybe not :(

I actually tried it, and it worked with a NFS mounted drive on my network. I
put the album there and the pictures magically appeared there!
