I have a Python script that fixes up the mess. It shouldn't have any
dependencies other than Python itself. I've only tested with Python 2.6,
but I don't know of any reason 2.5 wouldn't work (before 2.5 the sqlite3
module won't be available).
Features:
1. Moves files to [target-dir]/YYYY/MM/DD for the date of the photograph
itself, as is f-spot's current correct behaviour, creating these
directories where necessary
2. Target dir need not be ~/Photos but can be arbitrary
3. Updates the photos and photo_versions tables in the f-spot database
correctly (as far as I can tell anyway) both for original versions and
modified versions.
----
Usage: fix-fspot.py [correct target directory] [files...]
Example usage:
python fix-fspot.py ~/Photos ~/img_0001.jpg ~/img_0002.jpg
Move ~/img_0001.jpg and ~/img_0002.jpg to the correct location under
~/Photos and updates the f-spot database appropriately.
In case of corruption, your original database will be copied to
~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db-[TIMESTAMP] each time this runs
----
My run of this was:
python fix-fspot.py ~/Photos ~/*.{cr2,jpg}
but of course you will want to construct your own command line.
