[Shotwell] Missing Photos don't rescan properly

[Roy Wiggins]

Yes, I checked that- they are there, in the missing files section, and the
Extended Information shows the correct path. Of course they briefly weren't
there: when I started up Shotwell without the external drive plugged in,
but now it's mounted and everything's back as it was. It's as if Shotwell
isn't properly rescanning the missing files, though it does briefly say
"updating library" or similar, and then it seems to finish updating, but
all my photos are still listed as Missing.
