<html><head></head><body>Hi coders,<br>As a user, sitting on the side line and occasional submitter of rare bugs I like to join Martin in thanking you. It is just great to see one of my favourite programs being cared for.<br>I had similar ideas about splitting the DB. In fact I sort of do it myself since ages: Everybody has her/his own DB and only good pictures are migrated via Kim to the family album. Which is in a better backup level.<br>This works nicely except that it is a bit of a pain to sync category entries. Which brings me to the point: <br>Would it be possible to have one or more separate category-DBs alongside the image DBs?<br>Then splitting it as Martin proposed would be a better user experience. When setting up a new DB you could possibly choose from which Category tree to inherit and have all meta data to choose from from image1 on.<br>Best regards, Andreas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Am 13.

Again, that either means<br>pretty fundamental changes in the storage backend, a faster XML parser, or maybe a way of bringing<br>up the UI while images are still loading (and since you're often going to want to look at your most<br>recent photos, not even very helpul). If we stored photos in the database in _reverse_ order of<br>time, though, that might be workable (I'd love to have instant access to my most recent basketball<br>game while the rest of the file is being loaded).<br></blockquote><br>Just an idea: what about "partitioning" the database. I mean we could<br>have a single XML file per year, per decade, per 10k images or whatever.<br>That way, loading the more recent images first as Robert suggested would<br>be easier.<br><br>Oh and BTW, thanks for all the work that has be done on KPA so far!<br>Really great work!<br><br>hth,<br>- martin<br></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Gerät mit K-9 Mail gesendet.</body></html>
