I have a few thousand images in f-spot. Most of them are linked to files in various directories, only a few are placed in f-spot own directories (i.e under ~/Photos).
I moved my f-spot installation to another computer, in which the user home directory name is different. I copied the images, reproducing their old sub-directory structure, and copied photo.db. I changed uri's in photo.db, replacing the user home directory name: sqlite> update photos set uri='file:///new_directory'|| substr(uri,20); That worked. I can see that the uri's are now changed and correct. I start f-spot at the new computer. All the linked images load properly. However, for the images in the f-spot own directories (~/Photos) I get error messages like: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find uri "file:///old_directory/Photos/2008/11/11/img_4658.jpg" and of course I don't see these images in f-spot. F-spot is still trying to look at the old_directory, which of course does not exist! In photo.db, the uri's for the problematic images are correct, I mean they contain the new user directory name, not "old_directory" ! Moreover, I can not find the "old_directory" string anywhere in photo.db, or any other place among my files at the new computer. I really tried hard (with dumping the data base, grep, etc...) Still it must sit somewhere there.... Any idea why f-spot is insisting on loading images from the old directory? f-spot version 0.5.03 is installed at both computers.
