Hi,
I imported a lot of photos that had the wrong timestamp. So I did a
batch update of the timestamp on them. The problem is that the photos
are still in the wrong folder on the hard drive (the folders are
organised in year/month/day format). How do I move the photos to the
correct folder on the hard drive?
Unfortunately Shotwell does not yet move photos to a different folder
when you change their timestamps. We hope to implement this at some point:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2824
We'd also like to add a command which can move all photos in an existing
library to folders based on their dates:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2170
Since we don't yet have these features, you may need to move your photo
files between folders manually. Alternatively, you could export all the
photos to an external directory, delete them from your Shotwell library
(including deleting the files on disk in the library directory) and then
reimport from the external directory into Shotwell. In doing this
you'll lose all the edits you've made to these files in Shotwell, however.
More generally, we realize that it's inconvenient for many users that
the hierarchy you see in Shotwell doesn't always match the folder
hierarchy on disk. We hope to improve that in some ways; see e.g.
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3549
This is a problem because I run a mediatomb server on my desktop to
share my photos so I can watch it with XBMC on my TV in the living room.
The photos are neatly organised within Shotwell but now when I browse by
folder in XBMC I get completely different photos.
As a follow up to my question. Wouldn't it be a nice feature to add to
have a uPNP server embedded within Shotwell. This should serve the
photos as they appear in Shotwell. Not sure how difficult or possible
this is, just thought I would ask.
That's related to this ticket:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1572
Feel free to add comments about uPNP there. Cheers -
