Re: Moving album

[Mike Gemünde <mike weingutjanson de>]

Hi,

I've a similar Problem. I tried to move my photos to a new installation.
The first Problem was, I build (at the old) f-spot from source with
sqlite2. The new package uses sqlite3. Is there a possibility to move
the database??

The second Problem: I used the Option "Write Metadata to Pictures", but
I tagged some Photos before I have enabled this Option. Is there a
possibility to write the "old" tags to the picture-files?

Maybe, a dialog or something should be added to f-spot, that appears
when enable this Option to write the "old" tags to the pictures.

Mike
