Thanks, Bernhard, Rene and Guillermo. So currently the safes approach is to use local config, and maybe have the cache on the NAS. Since if I were to have the database on the NAS as well I may run into issues, i wanted to work remotely with my photos.
I would love and support a concept of server/client for darktable. That handles issues that Guillermo, and transit issues. søn. 5. jul. 2020 kl. 15:24 skrev Guillermo Rozas <guille2...@gmail.com>: > > Not in an easy way, there is no concept of server/client for darktable.
