[digiKam-users] How to use the same collection on an USB Hard disk on two computers with different OS ?

[Pierre DELGOVE]

Hi there ! 

I recently made the shift from Lightroom to Digikam but I have a problem
using the same collection on an USB HD between two computers (one laptop
with windows 10 and one mac mini with a larger screen). 

I'm keeping these OS because I'm quite happy with the results and ease
of use of DXO Photo Lab which runs on Mac and windows. 

I read this thread : 

http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digiKam-users-DigiKam-and-multiple-computers-best-practices-td4705570.html


and I understood that the path should be exactly the same in Digikam
Configuration / Collection settings. 

It appears that between the two platforms it couldn't be since Windows
name it "D:\Sauvegarde-1\Photos-Digikam" and Mac Os X
"/Volume/Sauvegarde-1/Photos-Digikam" 

Thus, I can't open or preview the files when the collection was set with
the other OS. It says : «the storage location is currently unavailable» 

Is there a way to solve this problem ? 

Or should I use the same OS on my two computers ? 

Maybe I should create two collections with the same folder on the two
platforms ? 

Maybe this question may have been asked before in the forum and I
apologize if it had been the case. 

Thanks in advance for your help, 

Pierre
