I use Shotwell with an image library mounted over NFS (the pictures are

Sometimes the NAS will be off line, or coming up, or NFS will just hiccup.
In such cases, Shotwell seems to lose all library settings, and when the NFS
gets mounted it needs to re-import all images.
Is there any way to avoid this "lose all library state if NFS share is not
mounted"?
I also have all my photos on a NAS. I use shotwell on a desktop computer
so the NAS is pretty much always available... but after reading this I
fear what would happen to my 15K photo-library if it wasn't available
one day?
There may be a better way, but I had a similar issue with Picasa and
photos stored on a removable drive. If I started Picasa with the drive
removed, it would remove all the photos from its library and forget all
info about them!
The solution there was to create a script that checked for the mount and
only started Picasa - or in this case, Shotwell - if the mount exists.
If ~/bin is in your path before /usr/bin you could even name it shotwell.
