[Shotwell] Shared photo library and database

[Todd Slater]

Hi,

I just tried Shotwell for the first time today and I like it! I like to set
up one photo directory and database to share with my family. I'm trying to
figure out the best way to do this on a linux box.

I noticed that Shotwell creates its own ~/.shotwell directory with relevant
files. I went to my wife's directory and just made a symlink to my
~/.shotwell, which I added to a group we share. As far as I can tell, this
works. However, the first time I did it I was in the process of importing
pictures and I believe it caused Shotwell to crash as none of the pictures
had and "events" associated with them when I relaunched it.

Anyway, is there a "preferred" or "safer" way to share a single library and
database?

Thanks and happy New Year!

Todd
