The real solution for this is to implement KDE Solid on Windows, which seems not to be the case. The UUID is the same for both OSs, and a good part of the idea to use UUID for identification is to make is cross platform. But that fails miserably, as you see, if the KDE libs are not implemented on a platform. Obviously, but would my suggestion not be useful, when migrating your collections to a bigger disk, a new computer et.c.? Yes there is some need. There is also an open bug about the case when a partition is reformatted, which changes the UUID. But the problem with the command line is that there are multiple album roots, you need to identify them ;-) I will think about this when fixing the other problem mentioned. OK, I see the problem. Thanx for the consideration. Did this ever get addressed? I'm in the same situation: dual boot Windows+Linux machine, wishing to use Digikam on both (they share an ntfs partition), but without needing to keep two duplicate/redundant databases+thumbnails for what is ultimately the same image collection. Typical solution is to have data (in this case albums) be specified relative to a customizeable base path, or relative to the db location. Is there any solution for this, or must one have 2 duplicate copies of all of Digikam's data? |
