[Bug 1101966] Re: shotwell doesn't support using removable storage devices for managed photos
I workarounded this by creating a soft symlink to my exernal drive. ~/Pictures/BigBackup/ links to /media/BigBackup/Photos What's good of Shotwell is the auto-conversion of filesystem to library in the interface, and the recursive viewing (ie standing in 2010 I get full of nice memories :) No other software has that awesome feature that I'm aware of. But the problem is how long it is to rebuild the root when the media is plugged back in. I'd suggest something like keeping an index on the removable media. Shotwell is a great tool, thanks. -- 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/1101966 Title: shotwell doesn't support using removable storage devices for managed photos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1101966/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Shotwell will allow you to import photos from any location either via drag-and-drop or by using File - Import From Folder. You are correct, you can only specify one directory as your library directory, which Shotwell can monitor for additional files via auto-import. One possibility, since most of your media is on your external drive, is to make that your library directory via Edit Preferences. We also have a ticket outstanding to allow for multiple directories: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3449 -- 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/1101966 Title: shotwell doesn't support using removable storage devices for managed photos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1101966/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
