[Digikam-users] How to move a digikam collection

[Thomas]

Hi,

For some years, I have had my digikam collection on a portable USB
drive, which I mounted on /photodisk.

This portable USB drive is now too small to store my photo collection,
so I have moved the photos onto a NAS.
The files are now served via NFS.
So on my photo editing machine, I mount photos on /net/photo instead
of /photodisk.

I also got a new computer for photo editing on which I need to set this all up.
I saved the digikamrc as well as a dump of digikam4.db and
thumbnails-digikam4.db.

So, now my question is, how do I get this all up and running again
with the collection in the new location and digikam on a new computer?

I see that the SQL dump of digikam4.db has this line:
INSERT INTO "AlbumRoots"
VALUES(8,'photos',0,1,'volumeid:?path=%2Fphotodisk%2Ftdn-photos%2Fphotos','/');

Should I just change this to:
INSERT INTO "AlbumRoots"
VALUES(8,'photos',0,1,'volumeid:?path=%2Fnet%2Fphoto%2Fphotos','/');
And then restore the digikam db?

Maybe I am just looking the wrong places, but I have a hard time
finding documentation on this.
I figure this should actually be a very easy task, as it basically is
the same that is needed if a user needs to recover from backup or
similar.
