Seems like the tags would be easy to dump from the db and add back in later. Or, I suspect you could just copy the .db file, the "delete from photots" to clear out the photos table (and others) to start fresh but with tags still dfined. > I've decided to try the f-spot way of using date-named folders and to > import with copy.

I have a script that I used to "import" my photos into a year/month/day directory structure and build the database at the same time. It's hard links the files as it goes so there's no copying of data around. It's Perl, and quite a trivial, one-off hack, but I can provide if you want. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
