But I don't think that's what OP wants.Īfter reading your suggestions (thank!) I did the following: Each OS has it's own DB and edits, tags, etc that you make on one only apply to that DB. It would work with a shared collection but different DBs. Likewise, when you go back to windows, that path is not valid on Windows. If you open/import files on Linux, then your paths are going to look like //mnt/share/ABS/123.jpg On linux when you open up Digikam, the entries that exist for G:\ABS\123.jpg are impossible paths on Linux. You are going to have a database with photos from windows that look like \\Servername\photos\ABS\123.jpg (or G:\ABS\123.jpg if you use a mapped drive) How could it work with a shared DB? Assuming we are using a share (Since he said desktop and laptop), we'd have a SMB share, and the database catalog would have to be shared or synced. You will need to disable Fast Startup on Windows to allow Linux mounting of NTFS. If you want to mount NTFS over the network you need Samba. This is easy if W and Linux are dual booted. Mount the NTFS partition on Linux, place your photo collection on the mounted partition, and proceed as above. Even if you use network shares, the file paths are not the same format for the same path. It would be difficult, as I assume the file paths would be stored in the DB, and file paths are very different on Linux and Windows.

So opening that file anywhere would in theory provide the same.Īs for tagging, rating etc, that's stored in an SQL database, which in also assume you could run on a central server. I don't know it, but I assume it has it's own fileformat to keep all steps done etc to it, like a Photoshop PSD file. Click on the Delete button to delete them from the camera.Is it possible to use DigiKam concurrently on different platforms for the same photo collection? As an example: first, culling & tagging on the Linux desktop machine and afterwards rating on a Windows laptop. You can delete them by selecting as indicated or pressing Control A and they will all be selected.

Download the photographs to the computer. You can select the ones you want by clicking on the photo while pressing the Control Key, or you can select them all by pressing the button or click the left mouse key while pressing the Control A. Start digikam->camera->add Camera->Auto-Detect to set up the camera.Ĭamera->click on the already detected camera and the images in the camera will be displayed. To see who is assigned to all the groups: Log out as user and log in as / (root) and in a terminal window do: One must be a member of the 'camera' group. Now digikam, the great photograph application Pacman -S hal, to be sure do 'pacman -Ss hal' to get the package name

It is best to use auto-detect in digikam->camera as outlined below. It has over 400 camera's specification in it's database. You must have the gphoto2 database installed as set forth below. Once it was detected as outlined below the images were transferred. I also have an Olympus D-510 that is a USB direct storage camera.
#Digikam usb drive how to
Here is a compilation of notes I made when directed to do certain things while asking how to get my Nokia E4600, PTP camera so digikam would connect to it and transfer the pictures to my laptop.
