Public bug reported: Shotwell doesn't allow me to add multiple locations where my photos are stored. The usecase for this is I have a laptop that only has 128 GB of storage, so storing my 80 GB of photos on it doesn't work. I instead store all of my photos on a 320 GB external USB drive. As a result I cannot use shotwell to work on my photos as it only supports one location for your photo collection. An example of the functionality I am looking for can be found in digikam. Digikam allows you to add multiple collections. A collection can be located on a removable storage device, a local system path, or even a network device. It then indexes the entire collection and stores information about that collection in its database.
