Well - I hate to bring up iPhoto yet again, but pretty much the same situation exists there - iPhoto has a concept of a Library (pretty much identical to how John described a collection), and althrough iPhoto itself supports multiple libraries, there's no way to change libraries in the iPhoto gui --- I guess they couldn't find a way to do it without being confusing either. So what happened was that a 3rd party dev released a small free-ware package called 'iPhoto Librarian' that lets you create new Libraries, and then launch iPhoto with one of them. if iPhoto is running, it basically kills it and restarts a new one with the new Library. In the long run, I think we can do better than this, and have something directly in f-spot to switch collections. But in the short term this would be a lot better than the cli option I added. The separate app could just access the f-spot gconf file and put the new collection settings there. What do people think?
