Hi Scott,
It sounds like your database might not have been properly migrated.
Does Shotwell fail to show any of your photos at all, or rather, do
all of your photos appear under the "Missing Files" entry in the
sidebar?
Firstly, i don't know why the original message didn't post to the list,
but hopefully this one should too...
Yes - they are all showing up in the "missing files" in the sidebar.
Second, what version of Shotwell are you running? I ask
because if you're running a version you compiled yourself out of the
Shotwell master development stream (this case would be rare; you'd
definitely know if you did this) then the on-disk location of the
database file is different from what is described in the FAQ.
I am using 0.12.3 from the official Ubuntu repo's. I havent been
bothered to build from trunk or add the yorba ppa, although i did run
from yorba when i was running 11.10.
I have had a quick look in the sqlite db too in ~/.shotwell/photo.db and
all of the event id's are showing up as -1 which i'm assuming marks them
as missing?
Would running a bulk find and replace work? because all i need to do is
change the /media/750gb stora (the old external) to /home/scott/ (the
root of the link) and all should be sweet.
Can shotwell handle permalinks in the home folders? Or is this possibly
the root cause of the problem?

Hi Lucas,
While i would love to do this, but my hard drive has finally died... I can
no longer get it to mount - even in read only and force mode. Something is
seriously wrong with it.
I have however found another problem. When i transferred my library from a
backup to my new hdd, i followed the instructions on the FAQ, but the
library wont update itself. i have changed the library to the external,
even created a permalink in my home folder. I have tried to uncheck and
check the watch folder for changes too, but still nothing.
I really don't want to have to re-import library either as i have alot of
event changes and tags not written to files that i don't want to have to
redo.
Thanks,
Scott.

Hi Scott,
Do you agree that it should show the error
dialogue on all three concurrences if the
error is the same?
This is actually harder than it sounds. When Shotwell reads files
directly from a mass storage "camera" (e.g. an SD card) or any other
camera, it doesn't access the camera directly. Instead, all of its
interaction with the camera is mediated by GPhoto, a standard Linux
library for communicating with digital cameras.
So my guess is that the crash you're seeing is actually coming out of
GPhoto, not Shotwell. So let's try to confirm this, and if it is a
GPhoto problem, I'll file a bug report with the GPhoto team. You can
help us find out where the problem is by capturing a log file and
stacktrace during a Shotwell run where the program crashes due to this
SD card issue. To learn how to generate a log file and a stacktrace,
following the instructions in the "I think I found a bug in Shotwell.
How do I report it?" section of the Shotwell FAQ here
(http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ).
