Move Pictures or Set Folder Preferences

[Andy Choens <gunksta gmail com>]

OK,

If I'm missing something really obvious, I would appreciate it if
someone pointed this out to me.  But, here goes.  I am using
F-Spot 0.1.3 on Breezy Badger.  I like it a lot.  Before
using F-Spot I had a bunch of photos stored in a file hierarchy that
looks like ~/Media/Photos/.........  This is not what F-Spot wants
to use, and I can't find any way of changing this behavior.  This
is fine, my photos can be in ~/Photos.  Not problem.  But, I
would like to move my existing photos to ~/Photo, WITHOUT losing any of
my tags and metadata.

I can't figure out how to do this.  I really don't want to go
through all of them again and redo it.  It took several days the
first time.  F-Spot crapped out a few times, but over-all
performed VERY well for this young of an app.

If I can't move the files and keep the metadata, then I would like to
change where F-Spot wants to save the new photos and I'll just keep my
existing file hierarchy.  Either way, I don't care.

I am going to spend a few minutes looking at the photos.db in
.gnome2/f-spot to see if I can just do it in the database
directly.  I've never used a sqlite database directly, but it
can't be too hard.

Any ideas are appreciated.  I'm willing to use the CLI, write a
script, etc. to accomplish this.  I'm just not sure where to start.
