Bug ID: 485469
Summary: Different path for "user" sqlite db vs "cache" sqlite
db (thumbnails)
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Files
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: metal...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When using SQLite, there doesn't seem to be a way to configure a separate path
for the thumbnails db file (very large, contains only cache/transient data)
from the other 3 db files (small, important user data)?
Typically, software separates cache-like data from user data, as one should be
backed up while the other should not. Because DigiKam stores both in the same
path, any backup or sync software you point there will spent the vast majority
of its time backing up thumbs. This issue can't be solved via symlink, since
just as DigiKam will follow the symlink to the intended "cache" folder...so too
does backup software.
How can we configure DigiKam to use a cache directory for the cache file
(thumbnail-digicam.db), and a user data directory for the user data file(s)
(digikam4.db)?
