<p>Jbeaird: sqlite3 pipe didn't work for me; updated instruction</p> <hr /> <div>== What Happened ==<br /> <br /> I recently had a situation where several missing pictures were turning up in my &quot;Photos&quot; app. They were images I had previously deleted, but somehow turned up again days after an update after a reboot. I may never know why and I doubt it'll happen again.<br /> <br /> Deleting them in the usual way failed because they weren't actually there, and showing the image would show a silver box in place of the image.<br /> <br /> Irritating.<br /> <br /> (I am: jettero on irc://irc.freenode.net/webos-internals )<br /> <br /> == HOWTO: Reset the File Indexer ==<br /> <br /> It's really trivially easy to fix this. However, if this breaks your phone, do not blame me, I don't have any idea what I'm doing.<br /> <br /> # cd /var/luna/data<br /> # stop fileindexer<br /> # rsync -vaP mediadb.db3 mediadb.oops.db3<br /> # sqlite3 mediadb.db3 &quot;delete from com_palm_media_image&quot;<br /> # start fileindexer<br /> <br /> That's it. Fixed.</div>
