Hi Jim,
I have a separate standard (SATA II) hard drive containing my data. I
have to mount the drive by clicking 'Places -> Docs' ('Docs' being the
name I gave to the drive). When I remounted the hard drive and reopened
Shotwell, the 'Missing Files' icon disappeared, and the images were
found again. However, the tags were still missing.
I just tried opening Shotwell before mounting the hard drive, and it did
not open the first time (although I believe the startup/launch
information bar ('Loading Shotwell') appeared momentarily). Upon
reclicking 'Applications -> Graphics -> Shotwell' a second time, the
software successfully launched, and I saw the 'Missing files' icon and
the images in the main window ('Events' was still empty).
I then closed Shotwell, mounted the hard drive, and reopened Shotwell.
During that time, Shotwell went through a search process of some sort,
and ultimately eliminated the 'Missing Files' icon after several
minutes.
Now, all my images are seen upon clicking the 'Photos' icon, the
'Missing Files' icon is gone, but the 'Events' icon remains empty.
I don't know if these details matter, but I have almost 17,000 photos,
and about 7,500 of those are raw (Nikon .nef) files with matching jpegs
— most of those taken in the Adobe RGB color space. Most of the rest are
sRGB jpegs.
Thanks!
Chris
