My father has a desktop and a notebook. The desktop is way more powerful and has RAID set up, so he uses it for editing and storing his pictures. But he spends several months a year away from home. So he has a notebook for this. He imports the pictures into shotwell on his computer.

He likes to organise his pictures on the notebook already, by creating and naming the right events, deleting pictures and sometimes editing a bit.

When he is back home, he wants to get his pictures on the desktop, without losing the names of the events in shotwell.

Sadly, one cannot merge two shotwell databases, nor is it possible to import another database.

Do you know any way, I can manage this? Or did I just miss something?

    The preference menu in Shotwell allows the user to specify both an 'External photo editor' and an 'External RAW editor', but I'm confused as to why two external editors would be required. I'm not a photographer, so this confusion may simply be a result of my ignorance, but I thought RAW images were… >>> More
