Suppose I could, but the desired workflow is: > chown -R myself /albums Whenever needed: > mkdir /albums/stuff45 > cp /mnt/usbstick/*.jpg /albums/stuff45/ while the freevo user (and _all_ other usages) leaves _no_ mark in /albums. I have freevo and a couple of pic viewers runing cronjobs on the album database, and having them all stick their tumbnails and small databases in there makes it all look ugly. Both from the complexity growth (trying to get them all to know how to exclude eachother's crap), and from a "desktop broswer" point of view, when you point your konqueror to /albums and get greeted with lots of .thumbs/ .db/ tn/ etc folders. Separating the raw data from derivatives is just the right thing to do, imho. It makes me sleep better too, knowing that it's ro for everything that traverses the fs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
