Zitat von "Tonatiuh Medina" <[email protected]>:
Hi guys,
I finally decided to start using more shotwell, and wean from iPhoto... so
I exported all my pics from iPhoto - about 40GB and at least 10K pics.
These were all placed by iPhoto in a single folder as JPEG files, which I
moved to my external HD.
Then, I proceeded to import them to shotwell, hooked up the HD to my Ubuntu
laptop > in shotwell chose "import from folder"/"copy pics"...Took a while
but it succeeded.
*Now the problem: *The import process created a tag - with the name of the
picture - for every single picture. So I ended up with thousands of useless
tags. I manage to manually delete a few... but* how can I delete multiple
tags at the same time?* Why were these tags created automatically?*
Just Guessing: the tags are already there from the software you used before
...iPhoto... maybe that tool uses tags for each file, even you don't
notics this, when using just that program.
And when you import the files, shotwell then adds these tags.
* It's ok if I need to remove entries directly on the DB... just please
tell me how.
There is aqlitebrowswser.
It shows the database in a GUI and you can give bSQL-commands from
within that GUI, for example DELETE-requests.
So,if you know some SQL and also the structure of the shotwell database,
then you an delete the tags easily.
But I can't tell you about side effects of this way,
because I did not looked at the database structure in detail so far.
Assuming that there is no special tricky treatment by a tricky
database structure, I would assume, just deleting the tags would do it.
Ciao,
Oliver
