digikam4.db, some questions...

[Gerard Milhaud]

Hi,

Question 1. If I configure digikam to write all metadata in image files,
can I delete digikam4.db and rebuild it without any loss ? If it is not
the case, what kind of info digikam4.db store which is not in the images
files ?

Question 2. I see my images directory from /path/to/dir on my Mac, with
digikam4.db staying here. From my Ubuntu VM, I see (via a shared folder)
the same images directory from /path2/to/dir. If I use digikam on the
Mac, there is in digikam4.db the information of the path "/path/to/dir"
so I can't use this digikam4.db file from my Ubuntu VM which don't see
the directory at the same place. I know, I can tweak the file with a
sqlite editor, but is there another tip to use the same file under two
digikam instance with a different path to the images directory ???

Thanks a lot...

Hi,

I´m  interested  in  an  answer  to question 1 also. I ask this myself
since I started using digiKam.

I´m  not  sure  if  my answer to Question 2 appeals to you. But I also
wanted to use digiKam from several Computers and store all Information
on  my  NAS.  I  did  this  by  switching from the SQLite DB to MySQL.
Fortunately  I  have  a MySQL Server running on my NAS, so this is the
most flexible solution for me now.
Placing a DB file on a shared drive is a bit dangerous. If the file is
not  locked  when user A accesses it you might end up with a corrupted
Database  when  user  B accesses the same DB file and makes changes to
it.


Kind regards!
