[Digikam-users] Some questions re collection on Network Share

[cl at isbd.net]

I keep my Digikam images on my desktop machine in /home/chris/pictures.

I have exported /home/chris/pictures as an NFS share so that I can see
the pictures on my laptop too.  If I run Digikam on my laptop and
specify the NFS /home/chris/pictures directory (wherever it's mounted
on the laptop) as a "Collection on a Network Share" will the laptop's
Digikam use the same database as the desktop one?

At present the laptop seems to be re-scanning all the pictures in
/home/chris/pictures and that's not what I want really, it will take a
*very* long time and it's pointless anyway as the work has already
been done by my desktop and put into the Digikam database.  Can't I
tell the laptop to se the already existing database file?
