Transferring images to a new instance of Tellico

[Ian McCulloch]

Hi,

I have just bought a new laptop, and I want to transfer an existing Tellico
book catalogue to it. I exported the database to xml on my old laptop, then
imported the xmlfile on my new laptop. This was when I realised that the
images (book covers) are stored separately, and that they hadn't been
copied across.

My question is, where are the images on my old laptop, and can I copy them
to the same place on my new laptop so that they connect with the book
records? The Image Storage Options in my original Tellico setup are "Store
images in common application directory" but poking around in /usr hasn't
been fruitful. As you may have guessed, I don't know that much about Ubuntu
and how it works, despite using it for about 15 years. I'm running Tellico
3.5.3 on Ubuntu 24.04.1.

I'm guessing that if I had the settings as "Store images in data file" I
wouldn't have had this problem, so it would be good to have it set up that
way on the new laptop. There are about 1,000 book records, so I'm reluctant
to do anything that means a separe operation for each record.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ian
