Digikam home directory8/24/2023 What I still do not understand is the way Digikam handles metainformation writes to the jpg-files. I think overall this setup is OK for managing your typical Christmas calendars, yearbooks etc. The selected images (around 90 in may cases) where then processed on the server (creating a photobook). First run for all files took around 3 h.Īfter that culling and tagging was done on the client. 20000 pictures are shared.Īfter mounting the share, Digikam on the client reads the metainformation directly from the jpg-files (no shared database). are filtered out via "veto" options to Samba: The server acts as an Samba server and I've created a share for a certain part of my home directory. Network: wlan and powerlan, raw bandwidth around 100 MBit/s ![]() "client": laptop with Win 10, Digikam 7.something (latest stable version) "server": linux desktop mit ext4 filesystems exclusively, Ubuntu 18.04, Digikam 5.6.0 But I don't think that's what OP wants.Īfter reading your suggestions (thank!) I did the following: Each OS has it's own DB and edits, tags, etc that you make on one only apply to that DB. It would work with a shared collection but different DBs. Likewise, when you go back to windows, that path is not valid on Windows. If you open/import files on Linux, then your paths are going to look like //mnt/share/ABS/123.jpg On linux when you open up Digikam, the entries that exist for G:\ABS\123.jpg are impossible paths on Linux. You are going to have a database with photos from windows that look like \\Servername\photos\ABS\123.jpg (or G:\ABS\123.jpg if you use a mapped drive) How could it work with a shared DB? Assuming we are using a share (Since he said desktop and laptop), we'd have a SMB share, and the database catalog would have to be shared or synced. ![]() You will need to disable Fast Startup on Windows to allow Linux mounting of NTFS. If you want to mount NTFS over the network you need Samba. This is easy if W and Linux are dual booted. Mount the NTFS partition on Linux, place your photo collection on the mounted partition, and proceed as above. Even if you use network shares, the file paths are not the same format for the same path. It would be difficult, as I assume the file paths would be stored in the DB, and file paths are very different on Linux and Windows. So opening that file anywhere would in theory provide the same.Īs for tagging, rating etc, that's stored in an SQL database, which in also assume you could run on a central server. ![]() I don't know it, but I assume it has it's own fileformat to keep all steps done etc to it, like a Photoshop PSD file. Is it possible to use DigiKam concurrently on different platforms for the same photo collection? As an example: first, culling & tagging on the Linux desktop machine and afterwards rating on a Windows laptop.
