[digiKam-users] Collection on Network Share

[Andrew Cohen]

Just wanted folks to know that I was able to clear this up. I edited the db
following the instructions linked below and things work fine.

Looking forward to Digikam 8 which adds support for alternate network paths
without having to mess with the db.
