I keep the db and the collection on external usb drive and it works fine. <br>I think that you can select some other dir on your external drive as a "Collections on removable media" and move all pictures there.<br>

I am using Digikam 0.10.0 on SUSE 11.1 with albums on an external USB drive<br>
and the database on the internal hard drive. If I forget to turn the USB drive<br>
on before running Digikam then it removes all the captions and probably other<br>
things from the database and I have to restore the database from backup. I<br>
don't want to store the captions in the photo files. Is there a sensible way<br>
to deal with this problem? Should I store the database on the USB drive as<br>
well? Or maybe there's a way to move the collection from "Local Collections"<br>
to "Collections on removable media" and if so would that solve the problem? Or<br>
something else?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
