The location where the database file will be stored on your system. There is 
one common database file for all root albums. Write access is required to be 
able to edit image properties.

Note: a remote file system, such as NFS, cannot be used here.

Directory selection box
Type - SQLite or MySQL
Directory selection box
The location where the database file will be stored on your system. This file
