Hi,

First, thanks for the feedback provided! I just try the suggested solution
and it works, but with some issues:
- First, I create a symbolic link to my images folder in the images folder
of my wife.
- Then I switch to my wife session and verify that my images are viewable in
Nautilus. I see that 2 years of photos are shared, the other are restricted
to my session only, as indicated in the above picture:

- Then I launch Shotwell from my wife session but it failed to import any
photos (says that it didn't find any images or videos) :-(
- I was quit surprised as the images are well displayed in Nautilus and
after some tests I understand that if one of the folder is not accessible to
my wife (which was the case for the years before 2010), then Shotwell failed
to import the others accessible folders...

Do you think something could be done to avoid this issue? I think Shotwell
should not stop its import if it meet a folder that it cannot access...

Were you auto-importing, or importing manually? I just tried a simple auto-importing experiment where I set several directories to be unreadable, but Shotwell still imported photos from a directory that could be read. So I'm not able to reproduce this for auto-import, it seems.

(When importing manually, the current Shotwell trunk crashes if it sees a directory it can't read: see http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3340 . We'll fix this soon.)
