This is my approach, but I use darktable to move/relocate the files so darktable's database (library.db) knows the location and looses no information. > You mention slow but I find performance to be good working with remote > image files, in fact I have no local images at all and their primary > location is on the server/SAN disk.

I always try to "work" the files locally but agree that this is the best "repote" conditions. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
