This continues to be a problem in 0.18.
I set the library location in 'preferences', then imported photos.
Shotwell then crashed catastrophically (i.e. it actually crashed the OS). Connecting a camera with an empty memory card seems to cause the crash.
When I restarted shotwell, the library location is now set to "none" and any changes I make are not saved.

Title:
  Trouble setting library location to Pictures/Photos

Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At some point, I believe since upgrading to Shotwell 0.12.1, my
  library location change from /home/dylan/Pictures/Photos (which I
  think I had set myself) to /home/dylan/Pictures. So, Shotwell began
  importing photos to the wrong place.

  Setting the location _back_ has proven difficult. I tried changing the
  dconf key back to Pictures/Photos, but Shotwell changed the path back
  to Pictures when I started it. I tried selecting it from the file
  chooser in the Preferences dialog, but I encountered the same
  behaviour. I tried setting to a completely different folder,
  /home/dylan/Documents, and the library location was changed to just
  /home/dylan.

  I have had trouble determining exactly what is going on here. I kept
  trying and eventually I did something that made Shotwell _not_ change
  import-dir back. However, Shotwell Preferences still says the
  selection is "(None)".

  I am attaching a screenshot of dconf-editor and Shotwell's Preferences
  dialog.

  Sorry about the vagueness of this bug report. I'll try to provide some
  more information if you ask.
