Dougie,
again, we're sorry that you had to be one to be bitten by our pre-release
tag-flattening bug, and we appreciate your stoicism at this point. :)
Dougie, do you have a backup from before you got flattened? If so you
could go back to that and start again.
I'm not sure what you mean Colin. I have a 0.11.6 version on my netbook but
when I copy photos.db over the top of my 0.12.1+trunk version on my desktop
and start shotwell there the tags are flattened. If there's an other
approach I'd be willing to give it a try.
I cannot remember why they are being flattened, I seem to have lost
the start of this thread. Is the bug that caused the flattening going
to be fixed (assuming it is a bug)? If not can you change the tags
using the previous shotwell version (so you still have your hierarchy)
in such a way that they will not then be flattened when you go to the
new version? This might be easier than re-building the hierarchy. Or
have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely?
Colin
I'm not sure of the details but it's the migration from 0.11 to 0.12
that I think causes the flattening. So going to an older version doesn't
help.
But, news just coming in, one thing I have just done with rather whizzy
results is this: I moved my .shotwell folder out the way and started
shotwell. It has immediately started to auto-import my images, and, as
they have tags/exif data written into them, appears to be reconstructing
the tag hierarchy as it goes. It's only at 2% complete at the moment and
it looks like it will take hours if it does actually work. But it is
actually quite a snazzy thing to watch - the tags autmagically
unflattening and nesting themselves is quite cool.
fingers crossed.
