[Shotwell] Feature-Wish: Photo-Library-Location via CLI args

[oliver]

Hello,

is the Library Location could be set via command line args,
this would be very helpful for handling different locations
of pictures.

Using -d is only setting the path to the database, but not to the
file location.
When importing files not only from but also to different
file locations, a cli switch to support that would be convenient.

Otherwise this must be done by hand.


I hope the location of files is also memorized in the
database, so that it automaticall ylooks upo the right location,
if an already existing database is just used.

But when using many seperated libraries, the above mentioned
switch ould help.

Importing is done easier then.
It not only is easier but also less error prone.

Maybe also activating import could be allowed via command line switches,
this could make it even more convenient.

Something like
$ shotwell -d /var/mypics/shotwell_1/ -l /var/mypics/shotwell_1/ -import $HOME/pictures_1
$ shotwell -d /var/mypics/shotwell_2/ -l /var/mypics/shotwell_2/ -import $HOME/pictures_2

or

$ shotwell -d /var/mypics/shotwell_from_fspot/ -l /var/mypics/shotwell_from_fspot/ -import $HOME/f-spot/ -fspot

Would be nice.

Ciao,
