Marc, you didn't say which version of Shotwell you're using, but recent versions had a unfortunate bug which caused tags to be destroyed incorrectly when photos were deleted:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5068 I suspect you've been affected by this bug. We fixed the bug in Shotwell 0.12.3, which we released just yesterday: http://lists.yorba.org/pipermail/shotwell/2012-May/003949.html I recommend that you upgrade to 0.12.3, then restore from a backup. After that I think no more tags should disappear. adam On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 8:40 AM, Marc <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, I'm an heavy shotwell user and I love this prog since years now!! But know with over 25000 photos and about hundred videos I got my first data-lost. But not sure. I have many many Tags (hierarchical tags) and I lost an Big tree inside the hierarchical Tags. But I don't understand, when I restore some of my backups the problem persists.?? Can someone have a look at my photo.db (it is 17MByte) Or better, can you tell me, how I can have a look into the database? Which prog do I need and which SQL-Statement I need to set up? The Tags are shown in the Screenshot below. And the missing Tag-tree is "Tiere" under "Natur" there was many many Tags under "Tiere" and most of my photos were tagged with, but now most of my photos show "Natur" :-( Hope someone can help and debug this issue.
