[Shotwell] had a systeem crash - please help me to restore photo's with tags

["John Zey" <johnz linuxmail org>]

Hello all,

 

I had the bad luck that my pc stopped working. I have a other one and installed almost everything again. I have only issues with shotwell. I can't get the tag's back. What happend.

 

I had ubuntu 12.04 desktop first with f-spot and later with shotwell. All foto's where tagged and worked fine. I have a back up of /home/

 

Now I have ububtu 14.04 desktop (with classic view). I first imported al my photo's again with shotwell. The tag's where not there. I looked for "shotwell" in the backup and found 

 

.gconf/apps/shotwell/%gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/shotwell/preferences/files/%gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/shotwell/preferences/ui/%gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/shotwell/preferences/window/%gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/shotwell/preferences/%gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/shotwell/video/%gconf.xml

 

while in the new installation shotwell is located at home/.local/share/shotwell/data/photo.db and a photo.db.bak

 

for f-spot I found 

 

.config/f-spot/Accounts.xml

.config/f-spot/addins-setup.config

.config/f-spot/photos.db  (with a s at the end)

.config/f-spot/addin-db-001 (dir)

 

.gconf/apps/f-spot/export (dir)

.gconf/apps/f-spot/import (dir)

.gconf/apps/f-spot/metadata (dir)

.gconf/apps/f-spot/ui (dir)

.gconf/apps/f-spot/viewer (dir)

.gconf/apps/f-spot/%gconf.xml

 

 

I opend Shotwell, File, Import from Application,

at "import media from" there is "f-spot"

at the "none" I selected the location the ".config/f-spot/photos.db"

and pressed "import"

 

when the import was finined, the same photos where there but no tag's.

 

Can someone help me to place the tag's back, so I don't have to do it manualy again (almost 9.000 photos)

Thanks for any help

 

Best regards,

John
