Returning Images to DxO after Lightroom

[John-M (Melbourne, Australia - Win10)]

Regarding sharing one PL database between multiple systems;

@John-M

I assumed that would/should work too, Keith … but “someone” (I can’t find the reference now) tried that and found that PL insists on creating a database that’s unique to its host PC - even if they’re stored in the same place

I found it:

@danwdoo

I pointed all 3 computers to a single location and then deleted the databases.
I started PL on one machine and it created a database named database. I exited and let that fully sync to other computers.
I then opened one of my other computers and it created a new database called database-Computer Name.
It seems there is an identifier if some kind in databases linking them to the computer that created them making this a non-workable solution.

I don’t have multiple systems, so cannot confirm this … but it’s conceivable that PL behaves like this to provide protection against potential for attempted simultaneous access on non-multi-user SQLite db.
