Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm weary of any program modifying my photos after they have been created. If shotwell had a method of e.g. exporting a json file containing a mapping between the MD5 of a file and its tags, and allow importing it, I would be much more likely to use it.
Bugs happen, and I don't want to risk shotwell garbling any photos. That said, I know enough of the database by now so that I could do the following: 1. Export the TagTable, e.g. to a table as above. 2. Erase the old database. 3. Write a script to reimport the tags. If I can't figure out why shotwell keeps corrupting the database, I'll most likely try that.
