Bug: All pictures disappeared after upgraded to eineheminlampi [answered]

Oh yeah, this goes for my videos too...

@Lxt - I may be wrong here, so I'll stick to commenting; (as you have stated that you've SSH'd and cannot see files)

Usually, this is an indication that 'tracker' is not doing its job properly, once again.

There are a few ways you can nudge tracker into starting, either by downloading Sailfish Utilities from Jolla Store or, open Terminal and type in this command and hit enter; tracker-control -es - whether you use the tracker tool in Sailfish Utilities or the command in terminal, the outcome is the same, the tracker scans for system files - I think you will see your pics and videos again soon :)

Hi Markkyboy. Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not seem to work. Would the tracker actually copy files from some place to another? Any suggestion where I should look if there are any backups?

No, tracker won't copy the files to another, it just tracks files.. Sounds like you have actually lost it all then, that's a pain in the ass, eh!......I suppose the fact you cannot see them anywhere when SSH'ing to the device, means that they are gone I guess.

Thanks Lakutalo. The backups were indeed there, but after a restore I still couldn't see them. However, I read about the .vault, so I scp'd the entire directory to my computer and could see that checking out an older git tag, I could find what was missing. So indeed, the pictures were in a backup, but not in the latest backup. Now, I can't swear that I didn't do anything funny between the last and next to last backups, but I don't remember doing it. Bottom line is still that I managed to restore the missing files. Thanks!
