Question  Create an PHOTO library ? Post: #1
Hello,

VIDEO and MUSIC have their own libraries, which can be saved, cleaned up, exported, imported.

QUESTION : Why not creating a library for PHOTOS ?

My experience:

For 4 different XBMC devices (all EDEN database structure), I share the same VIDEOS, MUSIC & PHOTOS and Thumbnails on an distant NAS
(NO MYSQL)

I add new PHOTOS directly on my NAS from an networked PC
Then, the first XBMC device :
- Reads the new PHOTOS,
- Creates the right thumbnails in the NAS shared Thumbnails folder,
- Updates its own PHOTO database
(by updating its own file /Userdata/Database/Textures6.db )

The PROBLEM:

Each of the 3 others XBMC devices must update their PHOTO database (Textures6.db), one after one, by reading the newly created NAS PHOTOS folders

To avoid this, I manually copy from a PC, the recently updated /Userdata/Database/Textures6.db file of the First XBMC device, to the 3 others
So: everybody is up to date

If PHOTOS had its own library, the Export/Import command could make the job more easily !

-> What do you think ?
-> Is Library impossible for PHOTOS ?

Nb : If this question has been already treated, can you give me the link ?

Many Thanks Smile

Here is the current state of pictures in XBMC: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113290

I think it should (and eventually will) have an picture database. It is just not in XBMC core.
