This is just so not working ...
How can I move my photo files from one directory (or hard drive)
to another?
There are two ways this can be done:
*1. If you're moving all of your photos from your current library
directory (typically ~/Pictures) and you want all your future new
photos to be imported to the new directory or hard drive, do the
following:*
* First, make sure you're running *Shotwell 0.8.1 or greater*.
Earlier versions of Shotwell don't support library monitoring,
which is required for the following to work.
* Quit Shotwell. Move your photos to the new directory or hard
drive. Then start Shotwell. You'll see all your old photos go into
the "Missing File" bin.
* Choose *Edit ? Preferences*. In the Preferences dialog you can
select the library directory. Choose the directory where all your
photos now reside. Then press the Close button.
It might take a minute (depending on the size of your library) but
Shotwell should find all the photos and associate the objects in its
database with them.
Re-organising my PC, taking the photos from secondary mounted harddrive:
mv /store1/images /images
Followed the FAQ, and despite some lag, the granulated thumbnails
beautifully updated before my eyes.
/store1 is 125GB, ~55000 images.
Unfortunately, trying to do anything (e.g. F11 on a thumbnail) returns
an error that clearly indicates that Shotwell still things my images are
in /store1.
Shotwell 0.14.1
