I'm looking to shift my database from my home directory on my Solid state
boot disc to a server share on a traditional hdd. I've moved it and can
open it with "shotwell -d" but when I then open it from the unity bar it
creates an empty db file in my home folder again. How do I get it to open
the new location automatically? Many thanks.
I tend to use symlinks to change the location both shotwell and f-spot
.db files.
The symlink setup is very simple thus:
tim@oxygen:~$ ls -l .shotwell -d
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tim tim 17 Dec 2 2010 .shotwell -> /photos/shotwell/
I would say you are better off separating your photos and db, the photos
are bulk storage and should be ok on spinning store but the .db file is
better off on high speed SSD storage.
I have all of my photos and the .db spinning store but I have an SSD
with flashcache caching the filesystem.
