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

[karsten_df]

also, even if your paths are different, there's an option to share the same
database - IF you don't mind manually editing database entries (see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261277):

For every 'collection', the 2nd path needs to be added to db-table
'AlbumRoots' (column 'Identifier'), e.g.: 
"networkshareid:?mountpath=/mnt/myserver/data/Pictures"
needs to be changed to
"networkshareid:?mountpath=/mnt/myserver/data/Pictures&mountpath=U:/Pictures"
(this is a case, where the 2nd computer is a Windows machine connected via
Samba)

This can be achieved e.g. with MySQL Workbench:
digikam_core / Tables / AlbumRoots
=> click on table symbol at the end of the line
=> "Form Editor" View
don't forget to press oval 'Apply' button in bottom right corner...
.. done..
