Description Nick Cross 2020-08-03 17:38:42 UTC 
SUMMARY

I wanted to share a database between multiple operating systems (Linux and Windows). They would NOT be used simultaneously. 


OBSERVED RESULT

Configuring a normal collection doesn't work (as I get duplicates) so I tried network shares. 
However, currently the database configuration UI only allows a single network share mount point to be configured.

As per http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digiKam-users-Sharing-Collection-Database-td4713237.html it would be much better if I didn't have to edit the database directly to configure

"networkshareid:?mountpath=/home/rnc/Insync/name1/Pictures"
to
"networkshareid:?mountpath=/home/rnc/Insync/name1/Pictures&mountpath=D:\name1\Pictures"

which seems to allow either mount to be used transparently.

There is also the problem with locales (as Windows 10 does not have full support for UTF-8) in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382362
