<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Under Windows you can normally do things like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>E:>>mountvol.exe<br>
...<br>
\\?\Volume{dd637aff-5761-4467-80c3-bfcb62c500e8}\<br>
E:\</p>
<p>And then ...<br>
</p>
<p>start \\?\Volume{dd637aff-5761-4467-80c3-bfcb62c500e8}\</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And it would open the appropriate volume in File Explorer in my
case E:\ <br>
</p>
<p>My entry in Digikam for the same drive shows in digikam4.>
AlbumRoots as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Identifier<br>
volumeid:?uuid=4261fb3f</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And obviously <br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>start \\?\Volume{4261fb3f}\</p>
</blockquote>
<p>— Is not going to work.</p>
<p>How is: <br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Digikam > Settings > Configure - digikam > Collections</p>
</blockquote>
<p> from only volumeid:?uuid=4261fb3f achieving showing drive E: as
the root please?</p>
<p>Using Digikam as our prime DAM, I want to be able to query the
Sqlite (from Lazarus - FreePascal <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.lazarus-ide.org/">https://www.lazarus-ide.org/</a> )
and get the path to any image please.<br>
— I can do this so far using digikam4.db.> Albums and a lookup
from there on AlbumRoots > albumRoot , with digikam4.db.>
Images > album (etc.) and that gets me right up to getting the
correct drive letter (or \\?\Volume{<uuid>}\) under
Windows.</p>
<p>I have not yet found anything in the Digikam data .db(s),
digikam_systemrc or digikamrc, to cross-reference
volumeid:?uuid=4261fb3f with, and assume it must be being done
somehow in .ccp somewhere?<br>
</p>
<p>Any pointers appreciated please.</p>
<p>Kindest regards,<br>
</p>
<p>Paul<br>
