don't screw up!<br>
<br>
My current setup is linux with the dk8.5.0 appimage.<br>
<br>
* The db is on the local ssd.<br>
* the images + xmps are on an external usb toaster hard drive (fully<br>
backed up).<br>
<br>
The new laptop will also be linux with the dk8.5.0 appimage. It will<br>
be a 2 step process:<br>
<br>
1. new laptop (this/next week)<br>
2. new usb-c external ssd during the next black friday sale.<br>
<br>
* The db will on the local ssd<br>
* the images are on an external usb toaster hard drive, then<br>
eventually moved to the external ssd.<br>
<br>
I was thinking of:<br>
<br>
1. deleting all the xmps from the images<br>
2. getting to rewrite all the xmps.<br>
<br>
this is to delete a lot of crud that is in the xmps that were<br>
also written by other apps that I haven't used in years.<br>
<br>
A: is this feasible?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes. The UUID of the external disk must be the same between the 2 computers which must be the case. UUID is stored in the database to identify where the collections are stored in the device.</div><div><br></div><div>About the XMP in files, and update is just enough.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
