<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all, </div><div>Please could anyone offer some guidance as to how best to re-assign my collection. It's currently configured as a local collection with the path being a mapped drive to a network location. I see DigiKam supports collections on Network Shares. How can I tell DigiKam that my collection is actually a Network Share rather than a local share, while still retaining all the data such as facial recognition, etc?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>Pete<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 10 Dec 2023 at 22:58, Pete Lindgren <<a href="mailto:petelindgren@gmail.com">petelindgren@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>After returning to digiKam after a long hiatus, I see that collections can be specified by their network paths.
