I'm desperately waiting for a fix of this kind in Ubuntu. I bought a NAS to specifically store my pictures on, and then digikam refused to work with it. In case dot lock files have a performance issue for local filesystems, the sqlite implementation could try to find out if unix locking is supported on the album filesystem and if not, use dot lock files as a fallback option. But maybe the Linux caching makes this irrelevant...

The solution of bug http:// bugs.kde. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=137694 does not please me. I want to have my tags database on different computers as well.
