Dear everybody, thanks again for your support. I took the plunge today and so I am reporting back to the list. I am using Debian Sid, so some permissions might be set up differently in other distributions. So I created a symbolic link from $ ln -s /home/a/.gnome2/f-spot ~/.gnome2/f-spot for user b.

Under Debian I had to add a and b to the group users $ sudo adduser a users $ sudo adduser b users and then I issued his commands (actually chgrp just worked with super user privileges) > "chgrp -R users ~/.gnome2/f-spot" > "chmod -R g+w ~/.gnome2/f-spot" But under Debian Sid I also had to ensure that the upper directory can be traversable (?) (executed). So I had to do $ chmod o+x ~/.gnome2 Then I started f-spot & as user b. I found out that the name for the import folder is not stored in ~/.gnome2/f-spot/ so I had to change this manually. Also I noticed that the thumbnails/previews are generated separately for each user. And now my question. Do you have an idea how to manage the right in the import folder? I think the files are created according to the umask. But I prefer the setting for my usual files/folders (no write rights for everyone besides me for files or folders). But now if in my import folder b created 2008, a cannot import any pictures. Do you have a elegant solution how to solve this, besides doing $ chgrp -R users /path/to/import-folder $ chmod -R g+w /path/to/import-folder Thanks a lot, Paul
