how to share the data base?

Post by no_stress »

Hey...I am supposed to build a photo database for my prof at university. If I do so, how can she have access to what I am doing at XnView?
Thanks

Thanks!
But I am not really getting it. So, you are saying that I could save the DB and give to my prof as a whole in the minute i finish the DB. So it is not possible that we are both are working at the DB at the same time and then our "changes" are synchronized?
If I create a DB with a window version, is it a problem to give to a mac user?
Thanks

if you open many xnviews they work on the same db. most of the time it's fine, I'm not sure how safe from corruption...

but how can different xnviews work on the same db? if I create a db on my computer, assigning tabs, categories etc to the photso , how can another person have access to my "work"?

And how is the compatibility between XnView for Windows and Xnviews for Mac?

Sorry that I still have to ask those questions, but I am still not getting it?
