[Digikam-users] Digikam-users Digest, Vol 130, Issue 3

Thu Mar 3 22:44:03 GMT 2016

Hi Simon and Lutz

Thanks a lot for your response.
I have followed your advices.
So I have changed the names .
" photos à classer" was changed into "brutsdeshooting" and 
"Photothèque-01" into "fototekone".
Then I have connected the removable media ( formatted for Mac OS X 
extended) and I  waited a lot of minutes for the opening Digikam but the 
two collections were already visible in the left panel.
Then I quit Digikam and disconnect the external hard disc.
When I restart Digikam (removable disc disconnected):

  *   the  album fototekone (located on the removable disc) doesn't
    appear in the left panel (no directory, no thumbnails)
  * however , in the preferences the collections fototekone is present
    but has moved from "Collections on removable media " to " local
    collections" (Screenshot)

Now I connect the removable disc the collection fototekone is not 
immediatly visible : I must wait a lot of minutes.
So I'm still in trouble.
A ton of thanks for your patience.
Sincerely.
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

As Simon already stated it could be a problem with the names of the
volumes. What kind of file system does the remove media has? That could
be the cause of the trouble, so try to use simple naming and avoid any
diacritic characters.
And I see your collection " Photos à Classer" has a space character in
front. I would avoid that too.

Regards
Lutz
