I can confirm having the bug in 12.04. However, I also managed to get rid of this.
After setting directory to ~/Pictures/Photos via dconf-settings, Shotwell behaved as in comment #12, the input field in preferences is set to "(None)". The structure of the Photos dir was: 2005/ 2006/ ... 2012/ some_text_file I removed some_text_file, so only year folders were left. After restarting Shotwell, Photos folder is correctly displayed in preferences and I can import photos to that folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975636 Title: Trouble setting library location to Pictures/Photos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/975636/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
