[Bug 797117] Re: Import of photos to be COPIED does not work correctly

 

This looks a lot like a bug I just reported in a newer version of
shotwell (0.18.0) under Trusty: Bug #1458085

Title:
  Import of photos to be COPIED does not work correctly

Status in Shotwell:
  New
Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shotwell

  I try to import photos into my library, put the new photo (a sinlge picture!) into a temp folder in my home directory.
  Choose "import folder", select the folder and THEN choose "Copy" instead of link.

  => the picture is not copied but stays where it is! When I open
  Nautilus using the context menu on this picture, the temp folder is
  shown!

  Tough bug! What happens when I choose to copy??? Is that ignored? Is
  it because it is a single picture??

  Maybe this is important:

  I have a Solid State Disk with my home on it. But large amounts of
  data (like my pictures!) are stored on the second hard disk drive. So
  my "Pictures" folder is a symlink to a different partition!!
  ~/Pictures -> /homehdd/myuser/Pictures

  Maybe that is causing the trouble??

  Also: copying the picture into the correct destination folder does not
  trigger the watch feature correctly! Shotwell does not realize there's
  a new picture!
