[digiKam-users] Digikam-users Digest, Vol 197, Issue 2

[Milind Joshi]

Hi Maik

Thanks again!

That explains it and kills it too! Have a tedious task of recreating 
dozens of searches manually in another instance of essentially the same 
database.

Another question for you. My setup is as follows:

01. My main workstation is a desktop computer with high processing power.

02. My images and digiKam database reside on a removable USB drive.

03. I do the tagging of my images on the desktop.

04. Essentially there are 3 formats, RAW coming from the camera, tiff 
generated by Gimp. The tiff files are converted to  jpg and png using 
FSView.

05. All these images are tagged and given rating in digiKam.

06. I have a variety of searches in digiKam for locating files with 
different criterion.

06. I also use a laptop, essentially for sharing the images on social media.

07. Only the tiff, jpg and png files in separate folders are copied to 
the laptop.

08. There is another instance of digiKam running on the laptop which has 
only the tiff, jpg and png folders as albums.

09. Since the database on the laptop is a subset of the database on the 
desktop and with essentially the same tags, I want to replicate the 
desktop searches on the laptop.

What is the best way of achieving this workflow?
