It doesn't work over network (on different computers) because DT code
checks for existence of PID:
https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/src/common/database.c
So I guess currently there's no guard against 2 darktables running on
different PCs accessing the same database on network share.
Thank you, I don't know the code... but my understanding is that DT
"can" run if the database is on a network share and more than one DT can
connect to it simultaneously.
In my opinion at least 2 possible directions exist
1. Preserve multi client (this can be risky if both clients work on the
same images) but at the same time opens a lot of possibilities - people
collaborating together.
2. Enforce single client (this is safer) but at the same time limits the
expansion.
I think each would appeal to some.
Thank you everybody for sharing thoughts and experience!
Regards,
B
