[Shotwell] Missing Photos don't rescan properly

[Roy Wiggins]

Yeah, "JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.21" like you'd expect. If I clear
the flags field and reload Shotwell, I can view my images just fine (not
just the thumbnails, so they really are there), but the events are mostly
missing (the pictures *are* all there, in the Library view, but the events
are missing).
