You can open Shotwell with a different photo library.

# Múltiples biblioteques

Shotwell supports multiple libraries on the same computer with the concept of profiles. A profile is a set of meta-data and settings associated with a library folder.

All profiles are completely isolated from each other. While it is possible to use the same library folder for different profiles, it is not recommended.

# Managing profiles

Profiles can either be created using the dedicated Shotwell Profile Manager, calling shotwell --profile-browser from the command line or the Profiles section of the settings Edit Preferences

# Selecting a profile

A profile can only be selected during start-up and cannot be switched during run-time.

To select a profile, start the Shotwell Profile Manager and select a profile using double-click, or calling shotwell --profile name
