Hi all peoples there, thanks for reading & helping

I just downloaded digikam, read the documentation and tried it, but it seems to me it does not address the reason why a wanted to switch from MACOS PHOTOS:
My problem is I have all our pictures stored on a LACIE BIG 2 NAS, Raid 1. They are organized by year of taking, with a specfic share for each year from 2000 to now, yes 23 shares…
We own two MacBooks running Ventura, and we would like to be both able to access our pictures, which is impossible with MacOS Photos :-(

I could easily configure digikam to access one share, but could not find any way to switch to another. Has anybody any clue? Or is it necessary to group all our picture in a single share ?
I don’t really like this option, becaus it would be huge and difficult to backup: With different shares per year, I only need to backup the ones which I create/modify. If I have only one, I need to backup it ideally on each modification.

Otherwise digikam seems pretty good, especially for the price ;-)

thanks again for helping
Franyz
