Rachel,<br><br>Here on my main computer, i use a huge secondary HDD (300Gb) to host all my pictures without problem.<br><br>The disk is mounted using a standard way. Nothing is require to use digiKam in this configuration.
<br><br>Your problem is certainly in your computer settings...<br><br>Which linux box you use ? Can you give a copy of your /etc/fstab ?<br><br>Gilles Caulier<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/7/9, Rachel Phillips <

<br>to use that directory. However, when I try to choose that location, I get an<br>error saying that Digikam doesn't have write permissions for that location.<br>What do I need to do to resolve the situation. I've checked the folder and
<br>my user is the owner/group for that folder, not root. So I'm a little lost<br>as to what I need to do to fix this.<br><br>Again, I want to stress that this isn't a networked hard drive but rather a<br>local shared partition.
<br><br>Thanks so much in advance!<br>Rachel<br>_______________________________________________<br>Digikam-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Digikam-users@kde.org">Digikam-users@kde.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users">
