To store my photo I use Rapid-Photo-downloader, is much more flexible than Shotwell to import task (that's the main and unique task for RPD so...). There's an option that permits to import photo from external disk to some path (your huge disk). So I think you should do:
1. Change Shotwell library path to new one (uncheck "Watch library") 2. Use RPD to copy the photos to the huge HD 3. Recheck "Watch Library" in Shotwell In this case Shotwell should recognize the new path for the photos already in the DB and your tags/vote/ecc. should be save. Anyway backup your .shotwell folder before start :) Il giorno sab, 17/09/2011 alle 14.32 +0200, Christophe Drevet ha scritto: > Hi all, > > I have a somewhat big photo database (9000+).
