That's actually just for adding tags (faces found by my face-detection and identification suit, http://www.svenutcke.de/sw/Face/ ) to digikam (and could be improved some, to become even more compatible to digikam's inbuild face detection, which I found lacking --- but then, I'm biased :-) > I will bug you for it once I figure what I want to use.

Do you know of any other > software that has such "bugs"? :) While I do not actively know about such software, I would suspect that many will do this is not only the file, but the entire directory is missing (that certainly is the default for f_spot_cleanup), so you could try that; alternatively, it is quite possible that there are programs out there which only validate the database when asked to do so, and those might work too (also that would be a bit risky)...
