Hello! My wife and I are currently sorting through all our vacation photos. They're located in a folder on the network (NAS). Album monitoring is enabled in the settings. If one of us now enters, moves, or changes a folder name, it won't be displayed on the other computer. F5 or Refresh Album doesn't help. The program needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Is there another way to actively keep the album names synchronized? (MariaDB-Server Remote on Synology) Regards Andy
This requires both digiKams to communicate over the network. This is already implemented for Linux on a local computer using DBus in digiKam. There's also the option of using MySQL Server Events, but this is also problematic. We've already received bug reports on this. You can simply select "Search for new entries" in the Extras menu. This is the same as the initial scan and saves you from having to restart the digiKam. Album monitoring will probably not work on network drives. Maik

All right! Thanks for the tip -> "Tools" menu One quick question. Does it make sense to assign a drive letter to the network share, or is the network path sufficient? Would this change performance? Andy
digiKam has supported UNC paths under Windows for some time now, and issues shouldn't be an issue anymore. I can't comment on performance; I've never tested it, but I don't think it makes a difference. Loading HEIF images over the network has become significantly faster in the digiKam-8.8.0 pre-release version. Maik
