I am looking for a software which allow me to:
- Share my photos (shared server) and tag/album database between computers - Archive/add photos to/from DVD, and thumbails/tags/albums... keeps stored in database, so when I search for a tag and double click on a photo, I am asked to insert the correct DVD in order to open the file. Does digikam this?

Thanks. If you use remote collections, afaik, yes, you can do this kind of things with digikam, just save your collection and its database in a shared directory. But I'm not sure, I never tried these kind of things, just worked with local collections. In particular, I don't know how will digikam manage simultaneous, concurrent modifications to your collections from two different computers. Anyway, you can do something similar also using ResourceSpace, that works on the server, requiring only a web browser on the client side to work: http://www.resourcespace.org/ bye bye gerlos -- "Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

What I miss is if there is any way to storage photos in external media in a way that digikam still knows about them, and when I try to open them it asks me to insert the external media. > Anyway, you can do something similar also using ResourceSpace, that works on the server, requiring only a web browser on the client side to work: > http://www.resourcespace.org/ > > bye bye > gerlos > > -- > "Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, > but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." > G.

Personally, at home, i use this configuration :
1 netbook Linux/Win7 (Wifi) 1 macbook (Ethernet) 1 laptop Win Vista. (Wifi) I setup recently a B3 server device to host all my photos B3 is connected to network with Ethernet and has 1 Gb HDD. Network sharing is Samba (windows/linux) and AFP (apple) http://www.digikam.org/node/570 On B3 i tried setup Mysql server to host remote collection. It work and you can share same database for all home computer. The disavantage is that doesn't work if you use your computer outside home (for ex with my netbook) The solution is to open database acess through internet, but for security reason, i don't do iy currently. About that On my netbook i switch from Mysql to SQlite. Using remote collections and remote database can be a problem if network is slow (typically with WIFI). The goal is to render all DB registrations (scan, thumb, fingerprint, faceid) connecting computer by ethernet. After that i disable scan new items at startup and do it manually if it's really necessary. i hope that it's help you...

Thanks, it resolves half of my problem. My other half is how to store
photos in removable media; but allow them to be searched.

Even so I don't know if there is such a software for linux I would reconsider the "DVD-approach" first. If I understand you right, you like to "archive" your photos on DVDs. IMHO today this is a pretty bad idea: Since data storages deteriorate over time (regardless if CD/DVD/harddisk) - so you have to copy them once in a while to not loose any data. You should also always have one (or more) backups of your data. Let's say you have 500 GB of photos (maybe 500 GB may look much - but e.g. I already have created about 50 GB of photos over the last 10 years - and recently changed to RAW-shooting so the amount of data is increasing now a little bit faster...) - this would be 100 DVDs or a quarter full 2TB harddisk. One Backup: another 100 DVDs or just one harddisk and I for myself prefer a "2 Backup media" strategy... The copy operation to a new medium which has to be done once in a while: 100 DVDs you have to change manually or just a single harddisk... Also have a look at the digikam handbook too - chapter 2.4 "DAM" and especially chapter 2.4.4 "Protect your images from data corruption and loss". And regarding your question about sharing the photos between different computers - you could do it by using a NAS over the network or if not needed simultaneously on all computers just by using an external harddisk carried to the one computer to work with... regards bernhard _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
