Hi,I just installed ArchLinux on my new Notebook (Thinkpad W520). Now I tried to import photos from my SD-Card on my HDD with shotwell. The import works, but when the month contains an umlaut (e.g. March in Germin is März -> "ä"), it does not display the date and also does not categorize those photos correctly.
I deleted the folders in ~/.cache/shotwell and ~/.local/share/shotwell in order to force shotwell to make a complete scan of the Pictures folder.I also did the steps explained in the FAQ.I found that shotwell import very few photos (40 of more than 4,000) and the one that imported appeared in the log as: L 1592 2012-11-29 17:48:18 [DBG] BatchImport.vala:1827: Importing /home/miguel/Imágenes/2007/0
Shotwell imports the pictures into the pictures directory but the displayed thumbprints it maps to its own virtual library structure in what I grew up thinking should be the system file tree. It doesn't seem to offer much in the way of selecting collections of photos and moving them around the file system. Is there a way to do this with or without shotwell?
Please help.
So in 12.04, shotwell was working fine, I could view all my photos and everything was tagged and just great.
The photos and profile used was copied over from another 12.04 install and I simply ran shotwell and everything was there, tags and all.
During 12.10 testing, I copied over the .shotwell from 12.04 again, along with all my photos but it finds nothing, says nothing is in my library.

Shotwell is the Ubuntu’s default photo manager. It lets you import photos from disk or camera, organize them in various ways, view them in full-window or fullscreen mode, and export them to share with others. It can also publish photos on various websites such as PicasaWeb, Flickr, Facebook and more.
Shotwell does non-destructive photo editing (it keeps the original file untouched while keeping a log of actions to generate an edited photo in a database).
However, I would like to easily backup all of my photos that I edited in Shotwell (what if that database is corrupt?

Shotwell 0.14.1 is the first maintenance release for this particular branch and it's quite an upgrade from the version released a few weeks ago.
Highlights of Shotwell 0.14.1:

Is there a way to give shotwell a factory reset without deleting any of the original photos.
I made a big mess of importing the wrong library followed by the right library and now have 30,000 photos a lot of which are duplicate and rather than sifting through them all I would have thought it easier to start again.
Reinstalling shotwell does not work.
