Hi everyone.

I have this problema.  Recently I change my unix username so my profile
start from scratch.
Normally I move all app hidden folders from the old profile so I can get my
preferences and configuration.  At first sight, this seems to worked for
shotwell, but then I realize that old pics weren't there.  So I decide to
exanimate the sqlite database file... an I found that there is a "PhtoTable"
table where there is a "filename" field which contain static file path (I
think this is a design mistake... it should be a relative path) and, of
course, old pics contained file path targeting to old profile.
Well... I thougt that running a SQL sentences for updating that field should
work fine.  I ran:

UPDATE photoTable set filename = replace(filename, '<old_username>',
'<new_username>');

I ran this script from SQLite Mannager firefox plugin.  And at first, it
seems to work.  All field were updated correctly.  But when I startup
shotwell, pics aren't there.  An when I checked the database again,
"filename" field has been changed again (to old username).

Is there an other configuration file?

Thanks
