I am surprised to see for how long this problem has been dismissed. More and more users - like myself - store/share their images on network volumes which does not work with sqlite, and while sqlite blames NFS implementation in linux kernel, the end result is that digikam does not function in networked environments. After years of happily using digikam, I have now been forced to evaluate F-Spot and Picasa to choose a replacement. I need to store the pictures on a server, so they can be accessed from any of a number of desktop machines. I have tried both NFS and CIFS, but digikam hangs upon startup with both of them. Roma, no, this problem is not dismissed, but in standby. There are a lots of _changes_ in 0.9.0, outside the database stuf. We cannot change all at the same time : it's dangerous ! Look the comments in B.K.O file #134594 for details. Gilles Caulier SVN commit 732444 by cgilles: digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : First very important improvement here depending of the new Database interface/schema dedicaced to 0.10.0 release. A new setting in album configuration page have been added to host the database file used by digiKam in a dedicaced place. Before, the SQlite3 database file (digikam3.db) used by digiKam to store all image informations like Tags, Rating, Comments, Date, etc... been store in the root album path. This solution introduce a big problem to use a root album on a network file system like NFS, because SQLite3 do not like it (look here for more information : http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q7) The only issue for this problem is to store the databse file in a separate place... This is want mean than with this commit, digiKam can use a remote root album... There is a screenshot of the new Album config page : http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/digikamKDE4_13.png The next pending important change to do will to be able to drive more than one root album path with digiKam 0.10.0...
