Yes, Shotwell used to store all its data in ~/.shotwell Now the
database is stored in ~/.local/share/shotwell and the thumbnails (and
other files) are stored in ~/.cache/shotwell
If you're going to transfer the database, it's imperative for a smooth
transition that your photos are stored in the exact same directory
structure as the original machine. This includes your username, since
they're probably stored under /home/<user>/Pictures.

I think shotwell changed the folder for database in ubuntu 14.04
maybe (.local/share/shotwell/data/photo.db)
So you might just need to find that location!
Other thing you could do before the crash was to save the tags in the
files. So when you import the photos the tags will be there. Even if
using another program.
Hope that helps

Had a computer crash with Ubuntu 12.04, running Shotwell 0.12.3.
Updated to Ubuntu 14.04 using exactly the same directory structure as
in 12.04. Running Shotwell 0.18 on 14.04. I have the same photos and
photo directory structures on 14.04.
How do I transfer the extensive tags that I had on 12.04 to the newer
version of Shotwell on 14.04? I did not see a photos.db database in
14.04. Does Shotwell 0.18 store tags in a different way? If so, is
there a way to update the older tags? It took a great deal of work to
create those tags and I'd like to not have to do that again.
Thanks,
