--- Comment #24 from Metal450 <metal...@gmail.com> --- > This bug report is about having the thumbnail database as a local SQLite > database if the connection to a MySQL database is slow Ah I see. I interpreted the title "different database locations for thumbnails" to just mean different locations, not limited only to when using that specific combination of db types. > With SQLite it makes no sense to have the thumbnail database in a different > location. ...I'm not really sure how it "makes no sense." The main database is essential and is small, the thumbnail database is transient and extremely large. Most software (including Lightroom) separates cache-like data from the essential data that should be i.e. synced or backed up. I'd assume that most people want their main database backed up, but don't need to backup a big multi-gig set of thumbnails each time the software is used & the file is touched. Requiring them all to be in the same folder means any backup software will need an explicit filename exception just for this one application - rather than simply placing thumbs/cache in a separate thumb/cache location. > If they really want that, they could try a symbolic link. Doesn't work - just as Digikam will follow a symlink, so too would backup software. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
