[Shotwell] How to use "Multiple Libraries"

[Andy Balaam]

Thanks for this old thread.  Here's my updated recipe for the dconf
world:

shotwell.sh

#!/bin/sh
gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files import-dir [path for
alternative library] shotwell -d .shotwell-alternative-dir
gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files import-dir [path of
base library]

Thanks,

Andy
