digikam "collaboration" tips

[M. Fioretti]

Greetings,

in the next weeks I will write an article on this topic

the admittedly confusing but temporary title means that the article
would be about shared access and maintenance of one digikam collection
by more people, for example in a family home LAN.

I.e. One user sets up and manages the digiKam configuration, but all
the authorized users can

see each other's albums, unless they have been explicitly set as
private, and

use digikam to geotag, annotate, tag, do face recognition on "public"
albums collaboratively

I am already working on these thing by myself, but thanks in advance
for sharing any question, best practice, personal experiences with
similar setups, things you'd like to be covered and anything else on
this topic.

Ciao,
Marco F.

Hi Marco, hi Everyone,

I have had this issue on my wishlist for a long time as well and here
is a program I wrote about having Digikam accessible to your local
network.

The program is a web server (using Django) that works directly from
the Digikam database. At the moment there exist only views for Albums
and Images.

Please checkout the code from here (how to install also there: )
https://github.com/unapiedra/DigikamWeb#about


If any one is interested to help, send me an email, or just send a
pull request via github. I am also grateful for feedback of any kind.


Best regards,

Christoph

Hi Christoph, and thanks for these interesting news. I will surely
test this and report about it in my article. However:

I have only read very quickly the link you gave, will have time to
test it only tomorrow, but from the first read I understand that this
software of yours is only to _browse_ the albums, not to co-manage
them adding tags etc.. Am I wrong? It would be good anyway, I am just
curious

Later,
Marco

Hi Marco,

you are right, at the moment, you can only browse albums but
cooperative management (like tags, captions) is the next thing on the
list to be developed.

Regards,
Christoph

thanks. I not good enough as coder, I'm afraid, but I confirm that in
the next two weeks I will have some time to help testing those
experimental features, in case you wanted to play with them.

Marco
