[Shotwell] Directory location

I have my pictures collection stored on /media/data/Pictures and all 
other common pictures in /home/Thierry/Pictures.
So I call "shotwell  -d /media/Aux/Pictures" when I want to manage my 
collection and "shotwell" without argument when I just want to see 
standard pictures in My images directory.
But since the preferences are saved in .gconf/apps/shotwell, the 
information about the import directory is shared, so it is the same for 
the two profiles, and then I get a big mess with auto-scan, or I don't 
auto scan but I have to change the directory each time.

So, could it be possible to store the profile information in the same 
directory than database. So profiles will really be independants and 
related to the -d option ?
