[digiKam-users] --> DK Loosing Database (part of it)

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

If you use a SQLite database file _must_ be located on the local hard
drive, not on the NAS. You need to use Mysql or Mariadb server
instead, to host a remote database.

This is a sqlite technical restriction, not digiKam. It's well
explained in the database setup configuration panel.

It is configured as a network device, so DK should be aware that the Library can sometime be unavailable. My library is huge and it will take a long long time to scan all again... this is very frustrating.
