For example, if you want to set the location to ~/foobar/pictures, you click "other..." and in the file-chooser dialog, double-click the "foobar" folder, then highlight the "pictures" folder and click "open", shotwell will display your choice, and the Library Location will be displayed as "pictures". But if you close the preferences window, and reopen it again, you will see that "foobar" is now listed as the Library Location. To actually select the "pictures" folder, you have to double click on the pictures folder from the file chooser dialog, and then click "open". Showell will now display the exact same thing it did in the earlier case, only this time the setting "sticks" properly, and this can be verified by closing the preferences and opening it again and seeing that it has not changed.
