I have pictures duplicated on laptop and desktop, plus I have a
server. What I do is to synchronise them to the server, so a change
on laptop gets copied to the server when I sync, then to the desktop
when I sync that. For DigiKam everything (pictures, thumbnails and
database) is in the directory that you specify as the album, so
transfer is easy. It can take a little while to start DigiKam after
a change as it looks for new content but it all works fine. You
could do this with a straight sync between two machines, and if it
is just a one off to move it all then just copy the whole directory
across.<br>
<br>
I do it all on Linux but I am sure you can do the same on Windows<br>

Maybe, there will be a Day, where i need to Work on this
Collection with both PC's. So it sounds, that the second thing
is more for me. If it is possible to store both, the Database
and the Collection on a Netshare (SMB, FTP), this could be the
better solution. Its possible to save my files on a SMB Share
from my Router (AVM FritzBox), so i can access them from both
PC's. It must be not possible to use them on the same time.<br>

<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm not using dk on windows, but I think somer
general rules may apply. It is indeed possible to
transfer anything, but I haven't fully understood
what your goal is: migrating everything to another
PC or working from diferent PCs simultaneously? <br>
<br>
</div>
- if migrating is meant, the tricky bit might be
keeping your ratings, labels etc (metadata in
general). There have been discussions about this not
long ago, you might want to look at past emails. What
I'd say: write all metadata to the image to have the
opportunity to rebuild your database by reading them
if something goes wrong.<br>
<br>
</div>
- if the second, you'd want to use one PC as a server.
Digikam can connect to both a remote collection and
remote database.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm no expert, but there are quite a few around here which
might provide more help if you need more specific answers.<br>
