Hi Kristian,
If the set of images will be identical/near-identical in both computers, I
would just keep a copy of database file in both and an equivalent path. I have
tested that method earlier this year and it works fine. Then syncronize the
set of images in both computers.
In my case, I wanted something more specific (search messages from February
2012 with "Dual Computer" in the subject line) where I keep a small subset of
images in one computer ("current set that I am working on") which is let's call
a "slave" and another "master" which has all the images. In that case, the
problem was shotwell was spending a lot of time scanning for missing images
upon starting. So Adam had sugggested that I put forward a feature request that
did not see any activity :<
