Re: Please, continue evonving f-spot

Hi,

while I'm quite unhappy with many aspects of f-spot myself (database
is a mess, duplicate detection unreliable to broken, and I absolutely
can not stand the idea that no one will ever change anything to do
with pictures outside of f-spot (hence there is no need for a button
asking f-spot to bloody well go and re-parse some of its database)), I
might be able to help with some aspects...

This should not happen.  Could it be something outside of f-spot is
deleting the thumbnails?

You mean the -b option is absent from your version of f-spot?

No doubt.  Stability is not f-spot's strong point.

Yeah.  But you changed the date outside of f-spot, didn't you?  See
above for my comment about it being nice to be able to re-parse some of
the database (at the moment, all you can do is export/import).
