Hello, I shifted to F-Spot from Google Picasa just a few days ago in order to better manage some 3,000 photos on my disk. I use v0.2.2 on a Desktop with OpenSUSE 10.2 and v0.4.0 on a laptop with Ubuntu 7.10. I use the GIMP for manipulating pictures.
After moving in from Picasa, the upward changes were gain in speed, the tagging and ability to manage changes to pictures. There was only one (but big) downward change: F-Spot's inability to monitor the disk for any new pictures and to "refresh" its thumbnail database. I had this directory of about 200 pictures, which I had imported to F-Spot a few days ago. I moved this directory to a different location today and found that, after that, I could no more edit or open those pictures in F-Spot. The thumbnail were dead. I selected these thumbnails and tried refreshing them but that didn't help. A search into this group's archives showed me this post by Michael Goodman: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/f-spot-list/2007-July/msg00120.html I thought that might work so I went and promptly deleted my .thumbnails directory. F-Spot does not work any more. It opens and remains stuck without showing me any thumbnails. Is there anything I could do to get F-Spot working again? Thanks in advance, Girish. _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
