Using digikam on two computers?

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi,

attached is the script which I am presently using
to create a down-sized copy of all images under control of digikam.
It is written in python and only uses the directory structure
and needs `convert` and `identify` from imagemagick.
There are a couple of open problems and glitches,
see the comments in the code - use at your own risk.

Best,

Arnd

P.S.: I'd guess that the next step would be to
determine differences between two digikam3.db and
update the one on the main computer for all new tags etc.
and file-by-file.
(For this I will have to learn a bit about sqlite,
the digikam sqlite database and possibly pysqlite
to steer all that from python ...)

Hello,

I don't read Python well but I see that you put much effort to check
image size. You don't need to do that. Just

mogrify -resize "1024>x768>" image.jpg

Operation will be performed only when image size is bigger.

Be careful with quoting.

This is very nice!!  This will shorten the code considerably.

Many thanks,

Arnd

I forgot to explain why quoting is important - if you miss something
'>' will be treated as redirection and you end will all images 0 byte size
:) BTDT :(
