Hi Mauricio,

The -d option doesn't change the location of your library folder in the
Shotwell preferences.  That pref is stored in GConf or GSettings (depending
on your Shotwell version) rather than in the Shotwell database.

If you want to have separate Shotwell library folders, the easiest way to do
this is with multiple user accounts.  The hard way would be to write a
script that changes the folder in GConf/GSettings -- something that's doable
but not supported by us.
