Search the list archives. There are hacks to solve this, but I've said it before and I will say it again, f-spot should allow (perhaps just optionally) a photo database to be stored in the same store as the photos so that a single directory would hold an entire f-spot "collection" -- photos and database. > > If I set up a hard-link from my copy of ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db to > the same in her home directory, would this work?

Symlink is probably better and you might have some permissions issues to work around, but that's the general idea. > > (I'm planning to set up the permissions for the photos folder so that > both of us have full read-write access to all the pictures there). Right. You need to set the permissions of the database and it's containing directory too of course. b.
