Bug ID: 505005
Summary: Migrating user settings
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.6.0
Reported In:
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mio...@tuta.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Easily preserve user configuration files in case of a reinstallation or for
using digikam on another computer.
Some of the settings I need to adjust each time I reinstall digikam include:
geotagging markers, assigned person thumbnails, setting up reverse geotagging
fields or labels, or, for example, custom renaming patterns, camera models in
the import section.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure digikam to your liking or according to your needs.
2. My video and photo collection is never on the same device as the operating
system. In the event of a crash or a reinstallation, I can access my collection
from another operating system or computer.
3. Accessing it from another computer (or from the same computer running a
different Linux operating system - dual boot) requires a fresh install of
digikam. It would be helpful to be able to import user settings here.
OBSERVED RESULT
Manually setting up user parameters from scratch, as mentioned above, to
maintain the cohesion of my album collection with new additions.
EXPECTED RESULT
Since this is a wish, I would like to have a user data export system (with
selectable checkboxes for different fields) that could be imported into new
Digikam installations. Ideally, with the option for encryption and password
protection.
