The configure dialog has "Collections on Network <br>> Shares" item, but when I select a samba location, nothing happens.<br>> The collection is not added, and no error message is shown either.<br>> <br>> The introduction text in same configure dialog say<br>> <br>> remote file systems (such as ... Sambda mounted via cifs/smbfs)<br>> <br>> are supported - however I'm not sure how cifs mount will work on a<br>> laptop that often is not near NAS. Some earlier emails in this<br>> list say Samba works fine, but give no details.<br>> <br>> Could somebody tell:<br>> <br>> - Can I directly use Sambda locations<br>> - If I should mount with cifs, what's the recommended setup? Shall<br>> I use automount<br>> - What location should I specify in "Add Collection" dialog if<br>> I use a Sambda location?<br>> - There are statements that SQLite does not work well on network<br>> shares - is that a concerns, or will Digikam automatically use<br>> a local location for database?<br>> <br>> Thanks in advance,<br>> Volodya<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Digikam-users mailing list<br>> Digikam-users@kde.org<br>> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users<br></div></div></div></div> </div></body>
