[digiKam-users] digikam does not use config file pointed by --config

[bedros hanounik]

it always want to use ~/.config/digikam-db/digikamrc

if I delete the above file and do digikam --config /media/digikam-db/digikamrc ( which is  a copy of previous config) it shows me the setup dialog as if there's no DB or config

I need to have two digikam DBs with separate config files on the same machine how can I do that

I tried digikam 5.6.0 6.1.0 and Beta 6.2.0

Thanks,

Bedros

Hi,

I'm not sure if think kind of scenario have been tested since we port digiKam to Qt5.

So please open a file in bugzilla about this topic as a remember entry.. It's better than a simple mail to this mailing list.

Thanks in advance

Specifying a config file via "--config" works without any problems. This is
used and if it is a copy of the original file, digiKam starts normally.
It is a core feature of KSharedConfig. We only check if the config file is
Read and Write.
