That I do not know.

This caused the missing thumbnails:
I did not backup the .cache folder and and after
restoring the ~/Pictures  and the ~/.local/share/shotwell folders
I was left with partly missing event pics. ;-(

And looking for the best way to solve this.

About restoring the thumbnails:
*Here* it does not occur on startup, but on paging
the library photo pages.
That is why I suggested doing the same when paging the
event pages.
