</div>Does this/ would this now work on networked storage now that MySQL is<br>
used ? The reason I ask is that earlier versions of DK did not allow<br>
the db to be placed on a remote drive. Has that changed ?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Yep. I don't remember when, but when I switched to a removable drive, it gave me the option of specifying the db location, and I rejoiced. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Here is what I am thinking... DK is about as good as anything for her<br>
tagging and rating purposes. I'll install the images (in their<br>
heirarchy) on the NAS storage device and place the db in the root<br>
picture dir.<br>
<br>
I'll have DK 1.6 installed on my Linux machine, set up to access the db<br>
on the NAS device.<br>
<br>
I'll set her machine up with the Windows version of DK.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Seems completely reasonable. The only problem might be variations in the win vs linux version of DK and the database format. I would (a) test it out briefly on a copied test dir and make sure there aren't any obvious errors opening and changing tags/ratings/etc between the two, and (b) set DK to store as much as possible in the metadata. It takes much longer to load and move between images, but you don't loose much if the db is lost or corrupted, since DK can just rebuild from the images.<br>
<br>Of course, I say all that with *very* limited experience, so take it all with a huge grain of salt, but what you describe is pretty close to how I had *planned* to do it.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
