Version: 0.8.2 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.4" , openSUSE 10.2) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default I've just installed a NAS for storing my pictures. This NAS is mounted on /tr/bilder. On access to this path, digiKam freese.
The NAS is a LaCie Ethernet mini disk with 320 GB.
Stephan, digiKam use a SQlite database hosted on the root folder of your album library path. QSlite do not support remote hosting. This is why digiKam crash. There is some solution to solve this problem as well to use a link between a local DB file to the remote folder. You can find some tip on Web blogs. Look here for example: http://thoughtsonrails.wordpress.com/2007/03/03/digikam-albums-on-network-filesystem/ On the future a new DB backend will be done to solve diffinitivly this problem...

In addition to the workaround Gilles pointed to you, there's also this one : http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=117536777106366&w=2 which is, imho, better. The purpose is to have the digikam3.db file (sqlite database) stored on a local filesystem by using a symlink to it from the network storage path.
Fabien, This mailing-list link content is a great candidate to be include on FAQ web project page. This will limit the future reports from users about this subject (until the future new Database backend coded by Marcel wil solve this problem). Gilles
You're right. This is what I was thinking :) I just added a new FAQ entry about that.
Not reproducible with 7.0.0 beta 1.
