This continues to be a problem in 0.18. I set the library location in 'preferences', then imported photos. Shotwell then crashed catastrophically (i.e. it actually crashed the OS). Connecting a camera with an empty memory card seems to cause the crash. When I restarted shotwell, the library location is now set to "none" and any changes I make are not saved.

So, Shotwell began importing photos to the wrong place. Setting the location _back_ has proven difficult. I tried changing the dconf key back to Pictures/Photos, but Shotwell changed the path back to Pictures when I started it. I tried selecting it from the file chooser in the Preferences dialog, but I encountered the same behaviour. I tried setting to a completely different folder, /home/dylan/Documents, and the library location was changed to just /home/dylan. I have had trouble determining exactly what is going on here. I kept trying and eventually I did something that made Shotwell _not_ change import-dir back. However, Shotwell Preferences still says the selection is "(None)". I am attaching a screenshot of dconf-editor and Shotwell's Preferences dialog. Sorry about the vagueness of this bug report. I'll try to provide some more information if you ask.
