Re: Importing Photos that Are Already in the Photos Folder

[Michael Lissner <mlissner michaeljaylissner com>]

Haha. Sorry to laugh, but I did the same exact thing, nuking too many
hidden directories to recover elegantly. I just ended up creating a new
profile - it was worth it.

About your question, I'm not an f-spot developer, but I filed a bug that
you might be weary of when doing this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622621

Not sure when it will be fixed, but it's something to be aware of. I
think you're also going to lose any tags that you had on the photos,
since those won't get imported either.

For your future backups, may I recommend rsnapshot?
