That's why I'm suggesting we sort out our terminology...   'Album' *was* 
used that way in an earlier discussion, and that's led to a lot of 
confusion...

I think that the consensus is that either Library or Collection should 
be used to refer to completely separate sets of photos with their own 
f-spot.db, and that Album should refer to a sorted collection of photos.

I use the Library/Collection feature a lot - I implemented the initial 
patch, because I needed this functionality.

If it was available, I'd love to be able to create a sorted album of 
photos.   The one time I created a web gallery using f-spot, it really 
annoyed me that I couldn't manually order the photos the way I wanted. 
When I upload pics to flikr, I have to do them a few at a time to get 
them on flikr in the order I want.
