Hi!
Because I sometimes work with one computer and sometimes with the other, I switched the database to MariaDB a year ago and saved it on the NAS. It's really slow but it works.

I would like to ask you if you know of another way I can use a database with two computers.
For example, sqlite or MariaDB on D:\digikam\... and synchronize with Synology Drive? How do the database drivers react?

The photos are in the same local drive and folder on both computers. These are already synchronized via Drive.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

The 8.7.0 pre-release Windows installer from today have been rebuilt from
scratch with Qt 6.8.3, KDE 6.12, OpenCV 4.11 + CUDA support, Exiv2 0.28.5, ExifTool 13.27, ffmpeg 7, all image codecs updated to last version (jxl, avif, heif, aom, etc.).

Please try with this version to see if your problem still reproducible...

Thanks in advance
Best regards
