[Digikam-users] How do I set up Digikam for network access by multiple users ?

[Brano]

I have a same situation, all my photos are on NFS share, my digikam DB 
is on my desktop local.
My wife has also the share mounted and needs to be able to tag the 
pictures for printing/sending to various friends.

I'm planning to implement this (once I get to re-install my wife's laptop).

1) Keep all photos on NFS (or CIFS) share ...mounted to me and my wife 
(I have complete backup copy elsewhere)
2) Keep my digikam DB on my desktop
3) Let my wife have digikam on her laptop with local DB
4) She'll be tagging pics and digikam will save the tags to exif info of 
each photo (as well as her local digikam db)
5) Then I can re-scan the pics on my PC and get all the tags from exif 
and process further as instructed (by her :))

By this I'll get (somehow) the two DBs in sync ...at minimal I'll get 
the info I need from her to my db.
