Import F-Spot database into digiKam
I want to import my pictures tags made in F-Spot (0.8.2) to digiKam (4.10)
I found Roland Geider script but it doesn't work in totay's Linux (differences in DBUS structure): Original F-Spot to digiKam script.
I've made trivial correction (comment-out problematic code) and now script looks like this:
You have to provide collection with the same path like in F-Spot. It can import tags.
If your F-Spot path doesn't exists anymore you have to alter photos.db. In my case some of pictures had path /home/zdjatka and some /mnt/zdjatka, but now all pictures are in the same place /mnt/zdjatka, so I alter path:
cp ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db ~/photos.db sqlite3 ~/photos.db update photos \ set base_uri=REPLACE(base_uri, "home", "mnt") \ where base_uri not like "%/mnt/zdjatka%"; update photo_versions \ set base_uri=REPLACE(base_uri, "home", "mnt") \ where base_uri not like "%/mnt/zdjatka%"; .quit
as you can see photos.db is sqlite3 database (usually located at ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db) and I copied file to home directory (not to modify original file).
Assuming you digiKam is initialized in Pictures directory and you have defined collection in same folder as is defined in F-Spot database (photos.db) complete command to convert is:
python fspot_to_digikam.py Pictures --fspot-folder .
