Hi Guys,
I am storing my images on a share drive. I am planning to connect 2
computers to use the same images. I stumbled on
https://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/66083/darktable-on-multiple-machines
and
man darktable allows
Options:
--cachedir <user cache directory>
--configdir <user config directory>
I assume the above can be a network location
I am planning to use same DT version but different OS build (Ubuntu 16.04 on
one and Ubuntu 18.04 on the other) same mounting structure. Connection to
the shared drive is SMB CIFS.
My hope is that I can switch back and forth between the 2 machines and it
would be seamless. Currently I don't expect both machines to _edit_ images
at the _same time_ but each one would edit at one point or another. I hope
both machines to view images at the same time.
Anybody tried that? If you can please share your experience?
I utilize nfs/cifs/smb
I don't see a problem as long as you save your xmp file and configure dt
to check for changed xmp files on start up.
If check XMP needed if the DB and cache are located and the shared
network drive and both instances are using the same DB and the same cache?
I am trying to avoid check XMP each time DT starts as it takes quite
some time for my collection.
what I do is designate one machine as primary and run dt on the secondary
as: darktable --library :memory:
and check for changed xmp files on startup on the primary/
