Bug ID: 379615
Summary: Data loss when importing pictures
Product: gwenview
Version: 17.04.0
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: importer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
With KDE Applications 17.04, Gwenview Importer was reintroduced into the KF5
world (yay!).
However, using it to import pictures e.g. from a memory card, camera device or
local directory does not work. At the same time, choosing to "delete the <N>
imported documents from the device" after the import "finished", works rather
well. This leaves us with no pictures on both the device and the import
destination, potentially calling for a lengthy recovery session with PhotoRec.
Note: This not only affects users manually calling the importer, but everyone
using the import action provided by the device notifier popup when inserting
external media.
Steps to reproduce:
- create backup copy of <folder with pictures>
- $ gwenview_importer <folder with pictures>
- choose <destination>
- click on "Import All"
- (notice how <destination> is still empty)
- click on "Delete"
- (notice how <folder with pictures> is now empty, too)
- dismiss warning ("Failed to delete document: Unknown error code 0"), which
actually means "Failed to import, succeeded to delete"
Expected result:
Pictures moved (or copied, when choosing "Keep" instead of "Delete") from
<folder with pictures> to <destination>.
