Does Darktable have a way to find ("reconnect") photos on new locations
of disks, based on checksum and/or metadata? For example, suppose I have
all my photos in $HOME/Foton, and they're all indexed by Darktable, and
everything is fine, until I replace my computer, and my username on the
other computer is different. Or I have my photos on a USB drive, and
move them to a new, bigger drive, with a different name, and therefore
a different mount point.

So a feature like "go look for all missing photographs on the disk,
starting at location FOO", which would recognize a moved and/or renamed
photograph based on the RAW file's SHA-1 (or SHA-3) checksum. Does that
exist?

(Sorry if this is a naive question. I'm still bending my head around
Darktable, and haven't started using it for real yet.)
