[KPhotoAlbum] I moved some photos....

[Andreas Schleth]

Hi Kerry,
as the index.xml file is readable, you should still have all your meta 
data and could get them back. At least if you still have one of the 
backup files with the old folder structure.
It is tedious, but possible to change all the folder information in the 
index file so that it matches the current locations.
Try the :%s#old/folder#new/folder# command in gvim (or your favourite 
text editor). The editor might take a while to start up if the file is 
very large.
If you did not mix your images wildly this should do the trick.
Make a backup of the index.xml before starting this!
Cheers, Andreas
