Hi, I think this is probably a FAQ, but I can't find the answer.
I have 0.7.0-1~lucid1 running under Ubuntu Lucid x86_64. In a fit of reorganisation, I decided to move a bunch of existing photos (which I'd already manually catalogued by year) under ~/Pictures/YYYY/..., where Shotwell keeps its photos. Unfortunately, they don't appear in Shotwell, and I think this is because they're not in Shotwell's library database. I've found there's a ticket for 0.8 to handle this automatically: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2478 but until then, is there a way I can force Shotwell to rebuild its database of photos? Or tell it to rescan or import pictures in-place? I'm a bit scared of using "Import from Folder" when the files are already under the Pictures folder, in case they get overwritten in situ - unless someone can confirm this is safe. Otherwise, I was thinking that I could move all the photos into some other directory, wipe Shotwell's database, import them all - which should copy them under Pictures - and then delete the other location. I'd rather avoid such a potentially destructive set of actions if at all possible. Many thanks, Brian. _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
