I'm not shure if it's only a sqlite problem. But also when it is so I agree a message for the user is \
better than quietly do nothing or just crash.
Anyway, maybe I have a little more information which might help.
I tested with an nfs mount and also (the same album folder) with a samba share mounted with cifs. The \
behaviour of digikam is the same. I can't say if file locking (and that seems to be the problem with \
sqlite) is working with samba or not.
I can work with V. 0.8.x and 0.9b1 having the album on the network mount. Importing images from the \
camera works, creating album folder and adding comments or tags - no problem.
What's not working is ...
1. to enable the option "Search for new photos on startup" (don't know the exact wording)
This will bring up a box on startup with a progress bar which goes to 99% and that's it. Nothing happens. \
Starting digikiam in the shell gives no output. Interestingly this worked once with V.0.8.?. (By the way, \
would be nice to have an "update album" function to search for new photos.)
Disabling the option makes digikam work again.
~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc:
[General Settings]
Scan At Start=false
2. importing files or folder into the album.
This start a copy process with a normal kde copy box. The box does not change and stays at 0% forever. \
Surprisingly the files are copied into the right place.
It's said that nfs and sqlite doesn't work, but that's not true. Even digikam works. What's not working \
are the import function of digikam. This might be related to sqlite, I don't know. In my opinion, sqlite \
on an nfs share shouldn't make any difference when only one user access the db - it's just slower. It \
would be nice if that get fixed in 0.9
