Hi,

I had some thought about how multiples computer's users (for instance,
families members) can each use a different session but can share photos in
Shotwell.

I think that in order to do that, Shotwell just have to monitor different
directories, which may be something like:
/home/*dad*/Images
/home/*mam*/Images
/home*/.../*Images
Obviously, this is actually not possible because there is only one directory
that can be defined has the "library". But I seems to me that when bug "*
#2790 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2790>: monitor outside library directory
*" will be implemented, we will have everything needed to allow to monitors
and display photos from the different computer's users.

A prerequisite is that the tags should be stored inside the photo file in
order to avoid having to defined them twice or more...

Then we will probably need something that allows to protect the privacy of
some photos... In my opinion, the best way to achieve this is by using the
file and directory permissions (from the system) which defined who can read
or write each file. Maybe Shotwell can had an interface for that in order to
avoid that the user change it in Nautilus?

What are your think about these ideas? Do you see others issues?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon,
