After a successful upgrade all pictures taken with the phone's own camera have vanished from gallery. Only pictures that are on the SD-card are shown there.
Luckily, all pictures are still present in /home/nemo/Pictures/Camera/, so nothing seems to be lost. Just some sort of an indexing issue, perhaps?

Tracker index must be updated in some cases after this update, this can be done via using Sailfish Utilities (app adding new Tools to Settings) and "refresh media database", or more simple, with a reboot

like on every upgrade before this one, this question has a history now - maybe close as duplicate and point to the first occurrence! especially with RC-testing, asking this question is amusing every month anew!
Well, maybe questions that are quick to answer to are not that harmful, as they get closed as answered pretty fast not flooding the portal (even when being duplicates). But yes, you are right. These "historical questions" should have their own stand somewhere, and this one should be edited into release notes asap.
simo ( 2015-07-15 23:42:32 +0200 )editPerhaps you shouldn't be too hasty. I have this problem, but it isn't fixed by a reboot or a reindex. The Gallery is simply a blank white screen. I've tried deleting the photos, removing the Camera directory. Removing the SD card and restarting, reindexing, repairing the app registry... nothing.

Probably an indexing issue – someone else said they had the same issue, but a reboot helped. Did you do that already?
ssahla ( 2015-07-15 20:36:00 +0200 )editNot until now, and that seemed to fix it. I thought the boot after upgrade would have been enough, but apparently not this time around...
Okw ( 2015-07-15 20:46:17 +0200 )editFunny issue. Re-starting tracker via system settings (tools) didn't help me this time. Re-starting the device did.
ossi1967 ( 2015-07-15 22:19:01 +0200 )editThe exact same thing happened to me: restarting tracker via utilities didn't help, but reboot did. Never occured on any of the previous upgrades.
