I see. I suppose it is not possible to merge two databases without messing 
up stuff (is this SQlite or something like that?).

What happens if I copied this file between two computers (like you mentioned 
for the external drive) but some photos are missing on one. Does F-Spot  
complain and remove albums/tags  (I had tried doing that in Digikam before, 
and that is what it did) etc or does it function happily so that I can add 
more tags.
Ofcourse, I am assuming that I will take care to keep paths same on both 
computers, I just can't keep copy of the whole photo archive in both.

Thanks,

Turgut
