I've just had an accident with f-spot (
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629963 ) and got round it by
removing about 1000 images from the catalogue. I suspect that I now have
a lot of images on disk that don't exist in the catalogue. The details
are unimportant suffice to say I'd be very interested in tidying up my
/jpegs tree and removing any files that are not known to f-spot.
Some time ago (Oct 2009) there was discussion of orphaned files and a
script uploaded (http://paste.ubuntu.com/292946/) that looks promising.
I've been reviewing the thread and I'm not certain whether it works with
0.8.0 and whether it has a -dry-run type option (aha - I see
'demomode'). I'm a bit scared to run it even though everything's backed
up. Am I right in thinking that it will physically remove files from the
disk that are not known in f-spot's catalog?
Thanks,
Dougie
