[Digikam-users] Export Pictures and Database to a different PC

[Sebastian Pfohl]

The Point is, i have a Collection on Photos on PC1 with Windows Vista. I must make there some changes to this Collection. After this, i will move this with all new Metadata, Album and so on to a new PC with either Windows 8 or Windows 7.

Maybe, there will be a Day, where i need to Work on this Collection with both PC's. So it sounds, that the second thing is more for me. If it is possible to store both, the Database and the Collection on a Netshare (SMB, FTP), this could be the better solution. Its possible to save my files on a SMB Share from my Router (AVM FritzBox), so i can access them from both PC's. It must be not possible to use them on the same time.

Hello,

I'm not using dk on windows, but I think somer general rules may apply. It is indeed possible to transfer anything, but I haven't fully understood what your goal is: migrating everything to another PC or working from diferent PCs simultaneously? 


- if migrating is meant, the tricky bit might be keeping your ratings, labels etc (metadata in general). There have been discussions about this not long ago, you might want to look at past emails. What I'd say: write all metadata to the image to have the opportunity to rebuild your database by reading them if something goes wrong.


- if the second, you'd want to use one PC as a server. Digikam can connect to both a remote collection and remote database.

I'm no expert, but there are quite a few around here which might provide more help if you need more specific answers.
