This is what I see in the log file:

L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:19 [MSG] main.vala:385: Shotwell Photo Manager 0.18.0
L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:19 [MSG] main.vala:43: Verifying database ...
L 16444 2014-09-19 12:03:22 [WRN] DirectoryMonitor.vala:916: Skipping hidden 
file/directory /home/malsburg/Pictures/.DS_Store

And then many more of the "Skipping hidden file" warnings.  But I guess
these should be ok.

Is is possible that the database is messed up?  Can I just delete it and
have it rebuilt?  If yes, where do I find it.

Is there another way to extract information from the shotwell
process.  "shotwell --help" doesn't show a verbose flag.

Thank you!

  Titus
