[Digikam-users] Is config stored in the DB?

[Michael Rasmussen]

Quick thoughts:
That implies the path to the root of the collection is the same on each machine.

That information to the path of the album is stored in the db.  Excellent for my use.

If all paths in the DB are relative to a Digikam root how is it to handle file system
paths that do not share a common root?
