Seeking clarification regarding the folder to specify in Edit /
Preferences dialog for library location... Is it the "Pictures" folder
itself or is it the parent of the "Pictures" folder?
BTW I am now seeing "Updating Library" progress bar and some pictures
ahve shown up under events. However, when I click on the tags I see no
pictures matching them.
And there are still huge number of Photos and Videos in the "Missing
Files" folder.
I have tried specifying both "Pictures" folder itself and also its
parent folder but the unexpected behavior prevails.

Hi Laura,
Thank you for your helpful suggestion. I upgraded to 0.11.6. I see the
same behavior so far. Is there some way to know if there is anything
happening in background?

Hi Farrukh,
My first suggestion is to upgrade your version of Shotwell and see if
that resolves any issues you're having. You should be able to do this
from the Update Manager.
Alternatively, you may also download the latest version of Shotwell
from the Yorba PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ppa
<https://launchpad.net/%7Eyorba/+archive/ppa>
Let me know if that helps.
Cheers,
Laura

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.
