Hey,

my father has a lot of pictures, an old notebook, so I was really happy
about shotwell. Nice & simple. He finally seems to get the difference to
"normal" folders and getting used to the idea of events and tags.
Especially since I am tagging and ordering his 30k pictures for him :) 

The problem right now is, that his pictures are on an external hard
disk. He once started shotwell without it being connected to the
notebook. Obviously they appeared in missing folders. After it was
plugged back and shotwell restarted, all pictures are back, not in
missing files anymore - but all the events and tags are gone. The only
thing shotwell remembers is which pictures I imported last :/

Is there any way to restore that? I didn't find really anything about
this subject. The closest thing was someone moving/renaming his folder
and the solution was just moving it back. Won't this work with external
hard disks?

I should mention, that the external hard disks picture folder is linked
to the picture folder in the home.

Thanks a lot, I see your program is still heavily in development, and it
looks very promising. 加油

Matthias
