Inappropriate?Though you can't have two libraries under the same user account, you can run a second library under a different a user on the same computer.

Inappropriate?On a related subject, is it possible to have a single library accessible by two user accounts on one computer? My partner and I have separate accounts on our Mac but we'd like all our media in one database we can both access and modify. -
Inappropriate?@ste3ve:
You should be able to create a hard link to your library file in your partner's home directory. This would require you to open a terminal and type this command:
ln "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Delicious Library 2/Delicious Library Items.deliciouslibrary2" "/Users/otherusername/Library/Application Support/Delicious Library 2/Delicious Library Items.deliciouslibrary2"
If you do this, I would take extra pains to make sure that Delicious Library never runs on both user accounts at the same time (through fast user switching or remote login).
Use that terminal command at your own risk. While it should work, I haven't tested it. Be sure to make a backup of your library first. Best to wait for a Delicious Monster employee to respond.
I’m apprehensive

Inappropriate?Yes, I would also like to point out that using terminal is very risky for those who are not familiar with that. Typing in the wrong command can mess things up, so don't use it unless you're comfortable with the terminal environment!
