I just got a new DSLR which inspired me to try to re-think my digital workflow. I would like to store my photographs on my server at ~/Pictures. The server is already accessible remotely (ssh) and runs Gallery3, for publishing. Because I already have a decent system for backing up the server, I'd rather put all of my photographs there, rather than tote them around on my laptop. My thinking is that this way I can access the photos remotely and it makes upgrading the laptop in a few years easier.
Eventually I want to build a set of folders under ~/Tags and link the photos to the directory as a tagging solution. My goal is to avoid applications like f-spot, etc. My only problem seems to be thumbnails. I can access the photos through nautilus, but I don't get any thumbnails. And, applications like geeqie and raw therapee can't even see that I'm connected to the remote system.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Browsing photos without thumbnails is a little hard. I'm curious to hear what others are doing or if you have a solution to my little dilemma.
