<div>Hi team,<br>
Few weeks ago I askes help because I had problem with Digikam and
removable hard disc on Mac OS X Yosemite.<br>
<ul>
<li>Gilles answered "Sound like a problem with file open
limitation under OSX. Try to look here :<a href="http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/tuning/open-files-limit/#Mac-OS-X" target="_blank">
</a><a href="http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/tuning/open-files-limit/#Mac-OS-X" target="_blank">http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/tuning/open-files-limit/#Mac-OS-X</a>".
I went on this site ans did the modifications recommanded on
that site. NO RESULT</li>
<li>Then Simon and Lutz gave me the advice :</li>
<ul>
<li>to sanitize the names of the Albums ( no diacritic
marks,no spacer...). I did this. NO RESULT</li>
<li>to check with an USB drive various disk formats
recognisable by Mac.I did this . NO RESULT</li>
</ul>
<li>I asked help to a friend computerist and:</li>
<ul>
<li>he don't succeed in resolving this issue on my Mac</li>
<li>he installed Digikam from a Linux distribution on his
computer and he said that the external media was already
visible at its right place in the preferences panel</li>
<li>BUT ihe said that " In every case Digikam does not allow
to display the thumbnails of a disk which is not
connected.Thist is not a part of its features unlike Iphoto
or Lightroom". Is it right?</li>
<li>If yes can we hope to have this feature in a next release
?</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Thank you in advance for your response.<br>
Best regards.<br>
Philippe<br>

Hi Philippe,
I can read the messages correctly as I only read English but what stood
out for me was characters and spaces in the album names.
In Screenshot-03 note the leading space for "photos a classer". It
differs to "Phototheque-01".
You also use characters with diacritic marks. It is hard sometimes to
verify whether all programs, databases, OS understand and accept these
characters.
Personally I don't use "-" either. I have had problems in the past with
various programs not working properly because '-" was in path.
Substitute "_" if a spacer is required.
This may not be the issue but it is worth a try to sanitise your names.
Only use a-z A-Z 0-9 for paths and album names. See if this works. No
"~!@$%^&*(){}?<>", spaces or characters with diacritic marks.
Best of luck.
Cheers Simon

<pre>Hi team,
I have a problem using removable discs with Digikam 4.13.0 on Maxc OS
X. 10 (Yosemite).
In the Preferences I set the place of the Digikam Data Base on the
hard disk of my computer (Screenshot 01).
Then I added as Local Collection an Album located on my computer in
the Folder "Pictures " and called "Photos à Classer "
Then I added a new collection (called Photothèque 01) located on a
removable (external) hard disc. At this moment appeared the message
shown in the screenshot 02 (very hard to understand the meaning ???)
I clicked OK twice to close the Collections window of the Preferences.
All the Album of the removable media was imported very
well.(Screenshot 03)
Then I quit Digikam and disconnect the removable disc
Now when I re-open Digikam :
* with the external disc disconnected :
o The Album " Photothèque 01" of the removable média doesn't
appear (Screenshot-04) and in the Preferences I can see that
the Collection "Photothèque" has moved in the Local
Collection.(Screenshot 04)
o if I connect at this moment the external disc the the Album
"Photothèque-01 doesn't mount".
* with the external disc connected, the catalog appears quickly but
I must wait minutes to obtain the thumbnails ???
I don't know if something is wrong in my settings or if it's an issue
of the program.
Thanks for the help.
Chears.
Philippe
