sqlite3 ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db .dump > f-spot.dump
mv ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db photos.db.backup

I use F-Spot myself and found that the photos were taking up too much room in my home directory, so I moved them all to another partition. Naturally F-Spot didn't update the photos database. Rather than run through the SQLite command-line tool, I ended up creating a Perl script; it was easy to write, and it's actually readable, since there's only one regexp line. Thanks for the post.

Now that they are 'normalized', I suppose I should hack the db so they are all under ~/Photos and see what happens (after the next full backup ;-) Because I don’t know what would happen new photos are added.
