Version: 3.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I have images/videos in "Folder A" and images/videos in "Folder B" and the database backend was created with the path "Folder A". I don't see a clean and simple way of telling KPA to keep an eye on "Folder B". I want KPA to have a single image database which keeps track of multiple folders at different paths Something like Amarok's library management. In Amarok, I can specify multiple folders at different locations telling amarok that all of them contain music and that it should monitor all those folders for activity. Can we have this feature ? It'd be great. Thanks, Ritesh
`cd "folder A"; ln -s "path/to/Folder B" videos` should do the trick for you.
This won't work so well if folder A is read-only, or the filesystem you're running on doesn't support symlinks. Also, how well does kpa handle an accidental symlink loop?

In such case, you'll have to either abuse bind mounting (if your OS supports that) or create new root directory on a normal filesystem containing links to directories A and B. KPA should handle that in an intelligent way, ie it will find out that files have same checksum and reuse all tags. Anyway, if there's a patch for adding such functionality, I'll check it and commit it. > Also, how well does kpa handle an accidental symlink loop? Not very well, I guess.
I think we should re-think the solution. KPA is now supposed to run on Windows/Mac also.
Ritesh, if you have a patch, I'd love to review and integrate it. Right now, we unfortunately have other issues to deal with than this.
