Oddly enough the crash on startup I was experiencing has gone away on its own!

Shotwell now open. All my photos (~35GB) are now in the missing folder. When I edit preferences to change to new Library folder (on external drive) Shotwell 0.9.3 does not seem to have found them in teh new location as the FAQ entry referenced below suggests. I have waited ~30 minutes so far with no visible change.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I run SHotwell 0.9.3 on Ubuntu 11.04.

As my pictures and videos grew I needed more disk space and also needed fault tolernace and recovery. So I bought a WD MyBook Studio 3 x 2 TB disk and configured in in RAID 1 mode (half the disk space, slower but gives redundancy of data and better fault tolerance).
The new drive is mounted at /media/external.

I then moved my ~/Pictures folder to the new external drive at /media/external/Pictures following directions in FAQ at:

http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ#How-can-I-move-my-photo-files-from-one-directory-or-hard-drive-to-another

However, now when I run shotwell it does not start. So I manually tried the shotwell command (with no args) in a shell. This gives the following error:

"Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog"

What should I do? Thanks for your help.
