Hi Omari,
welcome back to us. :-)

I'm brainstorming over a side-project that may require integrating some kind
of DB into Geeqie. I know that having a DB has been on the roadmap for a
long time, so I'd like to implement things in a way that will be compatible
with the usecases that people had in mind.
It feels like a foregone conclusion that SQLite is the right way to go with
this. I quickly looked at BerkeleyDB, but it doesn't have any of the
utilities that SQLite does, so debugging and maintaining things would likely
be a pain.
I'll also vote against berkeley and for sqlite. From the current
perspective that looks like the best idea.
Some thoughts I have:
- - It should be clear what to store in the database and what not.
- - There should be ways to export/import to other files
- - Maybe some API access for scripting/lua
Especially the import/export idea is something I care much. Currently I
use the git-annex metadata to persistently store metadata with images. I
have tools to export/import them from/to metadata in .metadata dir.
Maybe that could be improved a bit. :-)
Regards
Klaus
