  if you want to see what that has in it:


$ echo .dump | sqlite3 photo.db | more


  years ago i hit bug in shotwell that destroyed all my 
tag data that i'd spent a lot of time putting in so after 
getting things restored from a backup i then wrote a 
script to dump the tags out so i could also back those up.
i no longer bother with that (since i do more regular 
backups which include the shotwell data files), but it 
was instructive to me.  :)
