f-spot -help
Usage: f-spot [options]
Options:
  -b -basedir:PARAM   path to the photo database folder
  -? -help            Show this help list
     -help2           Show an additional help list
  -i -import:PARAM    import from the given uri
  -p -photodir:PARAM  default import folder

  -V -version         Display version and licensing information
  -v -view            view file(s) or directory(ies)

f-spot -b /path/to/different/folder/for/photos.db -p
/path/to/default/import/folder

I create a directory, like "work" and inside it another like ".db". I
start f-spot with

f-spot -b ~/work/.db -p ~/work

F-spot creates the database in ~/work/.db and when I import photos,
they go in ~/work.

Todd
