OK, here is how I'd do it. mkdir .config/f-spot-catalogue1 # create as many directories as catalogues needed ln -siv ~/.config/f-spot/* .config/f-spot-catalogue1/ # symlink everything from the original config dir rm -i .config/f-spot-catalogue1/photos.db # remove the symlink to the old database # if you want to start with a copy of your original database and delete photos: cp .config/f-spot/photos.db .config/f-spot-catalogue1/ # copy your orig database to the new dir # if you want to start with an empty database do nothing. # Now you can launch f-spot like this: f-spot --basedir ~/.config/f-spot-catalogue1 # it will use the newly created config dir and database ==================================== Further configuration: You can put in a text file the following two lines: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/f-spot --basedir ~/.config/f-spot-catalogue1 and save the file as « f-spot1 » and make it executable ( chmod +x f-spot1 ) Put the file in your bin directory: mv f-spot1 ~/bin (Make sure ~/bin is in your path! If you don't know how to do it, you can google it or become root and save the file in /usr/local/bin/f-spot1 ) Now if you type « f-spot1 » in a terminal you start f-spot with the catalogue1. You can put a link in your desktop pointing to ~/bin/f-spot1 (or wherever you saved your text file). I suppose with your file manager you can navigate to the newly created file, right click it and choose « send to desktop » or something like that. Repeat the above for each catalogue you want. Hope this makes sense: it is easier to do it than to write it!
