[Digikam-users] How to work on mobility on a copy of database

[Mick Sulley]

I run DigiKam on my desktop and laptop and use Unison to sync between 
them.  If I make changes on Desktop and sync then when open DigiKam on 
laptop I get a pop up box with a warning that the collection is no 
longer available, but it gives me 3 options -

1 - The collection is still available but the id has changed
2 - Mark the collection as removable
3 - Take no action.

The default is option 1 and if I select that then is takes a bit of time 
to reload it all but it then works fine.  The problem is that the 
database holds not just the directory path to the album but also the 
uuid of the disk.  In my case the path is the same on both machines, but 
obviously the uuid is different, so I have to reload it all.  It is 
possible to write a bit of SQL to fix this, but I have never got around 
to doing it.

Hope that helps
Mick
