[Digikam-users] Digikam "offline mode"

[Manuel]

Martin's solution works well as far as you keep in mind, what meta data gets 
stored in the pictures. Everything else is not being transferred, importing 
your 'mobile' pictures into your nas later on (e.g. no faces, no album info, 
...)  --> adjust your workflow

I personally keep one dummy picture with all tags applied for syncing that 
part of the meta data between the two databases.

To make sure, my configs survive upgrades I don't modify the config, but rather 
keep two copies generated by digikam and rename them.

Regards
Manuel
