[digiKam-users] DigiKam and multiple computers -- best practices WARNING

[karsten_df]

For all who are experimenting with sharing a digikam mysql database between
Linux and Windows:
I've come across a nasty issue with this setup.

if a picture is deleted (to trash) on the Linux machine, and one tries to
undelete it from the windows machine, the data base gets seriously messed up
- in my case, in the end, the database appeared completely empty apart from
the restored picture.
A complete re-scan brings back the pictures, however information stored in
the database only is gone.

Fortunately I had a backup copy of the mysql data directory (/var/lib/mysql
in my case), which allowed a successful recovery.
