[Digikam-users] Searching images on usb disks

[Marina Ciatta]

Hello,

Many thanks Gordon, Marie-Noëlle, jdd, for comments and hints.

Same for me, only images on currently plugged disks seem to be alive
and other images seem to be ignored.

Oh God, you're killing me !
I am totally unable to do such stuff. My only programming skills are to 
setup
my coffee machine to start at 7 a.m. :)


Just a last question (and after that I promise to shut up)
Someone sent me a suggestion :
> Si dovrebbe cercare di fare una copia locale di tutte le tue foto,
> tutto piccolo per risparmiare spazio ...
I'll translate :
The suggestion is to build local copies of all images on all usb disks,
with very reduced size versions to save disk space.
Sounds this should work, but probably will take a long time so, before
trying this, I'd like to know if anyone has already implemented such a 
work,
and if results are as expected ?
Thanks,

Saluti,
Marina
