I would recommend backing up your Shotwell database first (it's a good
idea to do it occasionally anyway):
http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ#How-can-I-back-up-my-Shotwell-library
Then, start Shotwell. Your videos should be in the Missing Files item
in the left-hand sidebar -- it's near the bottom.
Select the videos and choose Edit -> Remove From Library.
Once they're removed, you should be able to import them anew. You'll
lose whatever metadata you associated with them in Shotwell, but since
they're videos, all that probably means is tags and events. Hopefully
you can add those back easily enough.

Hi
Ok, that's nice.
Any suggestion on how I can fix my problem manually? I would really
like to get these 375 files detected.

It sounds like video files are not being moved out of Missing Files
when imported. We had an earlier report about that, but now I can
reproduce this easily.

Hello
I have discovered that lots of videos are missing from my library
(but not
the filesystem). I think this is because I have imported these files
before, removed them and then imported them again. Also moving them
manually in the filesystem.
So now I have the files in my shotwell data dir but they are not in
the DB
and not detected even though I have watch enabled.
What can I do to fix this? They are spread around in different
directories
so I'm not sure exactly which are missing.
I can see in Shotwell that it has 25057 objects in the DB but if I
do 'find
. -type f | wc -l' in my data-dir I get 25432. So 375 missing.
