[Digikam-users] Cannot save image edits to NAS with dK 1.0.0 beta 5

[Duffields]

On one of my computers I use digKam 0.9.3 with Ubuntu 8.04 and it works great! 
My only complaint is that this version of digiKam cannot work with network 
files so I have to create a symbolic link from a local directory to the 
network files which are located on a D-link DNS-323, and I cannot have more 
than one collection.  

With the release of Ubuntu 9.10, I installed it on another computer (which has 
a faster processor) and installed digiKam 1.0.0 beta 5 from the Ubuntu 
repositories.

digiKam's new ability to work with external files is a welcome change, thank 
you,  but I have found two problems, one of them serious:

1.  I cannot save images edited with digiKam on the NAS.  When I attempt to 
save an image I get an error message such as the following example:

"Error digiKam
Failed to save file
Racoon2 Crop.jpg
To 
"/media/RAID/Photos/Creatures/Racoon2 Crop.jpg""

The NAS files are auto-mounted at start-up through an entry in fstab and the 
mount point is "/media/RAID/Photos"

I have tried to edit and save a file using GIMP and that works so I assume the 
problem lies within digiKam.

2. The second problem is not as severe, but when digiKam starts on this 
computer the scan time to bring up the same set of images from the time the 
splash screen appears to the time the first image screen appears is 57 
seconds.  This is after the initial scan associated with the new 
installation.

On digikam 0.9.3, the time from when the scan screen first appears until the 
first image screen appears is 10 seconds.  And this is on a slower computer.

Can anyone shine any light on either of these issues?  
I am particularly concerned about not being able to save edits with digiKam 
1.0.0.

Thanks
