Hi Paulo, Which version of Shotwell are you using? I believe in 0.8.1 you can do the following:
1) move the .shotwell and Pictures directories to the new locations 2) launch Shotwell specifying the .shotwell location with -d (or as user 'photos'). At this point your entire library (if previously all located in ~pmatos/Pictures) will be on the Missing Photos page. 3) go to Edit->Preferences and change the Library Location to the new Pictures directory 4) under the Library Location enable 'Watch library directory for new files'. Now Shotwell should find and restore everything from Missing Photos to the Photo library. Regards, Vera On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 12:13 AM, Paulo J.
