Categories database is messed up after reinstall
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2015 5:12 pm
I have a problem with the categories DB: My Ubuntu (12.04 LTS) imploded, and I had to wipe the disk and reinstall, which I did with 14.04 LTS (I thought, while I'm at it...). After I re-installed XnViewMP and re-setup all my shortcuts to the picture collection, the categories db was messed up: Some categories seem to point to the wrong files. It might well be that I didn't recreate the identical directory/shortcut tree, and/or moved some files with Nautilus, so I suspect the problem lies there. I don't think I can (manually) find those mistakes though. Is there any way to repair the db?
I tried the method suggested here, but the MP db seems to have a slightly different format, I can't find the search string (or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I'm not that good with regex...)
Sorry in case I duplicate some post, I did search, but I might have overlooked something similar, if so please point me and I'll shut up!
Thanks in advance,
Akir
