-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
Somewhat related to the topics of backups and synchronization is how to keep f-spot synchronized across multiple machines. I have a (somewhat quirky) policy of having a rather large directory in ~/ that is actually a CVS checkout. All my important files are stored there. It serves to synchronize and, in effect, backup across about six machines running various incarnations of Debian and Ubuntu. I realize this is not the intended use of CVS, but it works well and I have in fact used its revision control to recover past versions of, e.g., my thesis that is in progress. I like to have f-spot available on all the machines so that I can show photos to people wherever I am. For my, moving photos between machines is not hard as I have access to high speed pipes. So my solution has been to symlink ~/Photos and and ~/.gnome2/f-spot to actual directories inside the CVS checkout directory. This has worked well for me, but I was wondering: 1) Is there a more normal (I will avoid saying "proper") way to do this? For example, can f-spot be instructed to look somewhere else for the photos and DB? 2) Is cross-machine syncing something that would be valuable to include within f-spot? Or is that sufficiently esoteric that it should be handled externally? Or just do photo exports as needed? Also, does anyone have any information on running f-spot on OS X?
