[Bug 127315] Re: F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder
Okay attached is the debdiff that solves this bug. What the patch does if when F-Spot finds that the 'f-spot/import/storage_path' gconf string has not been set yet (basically the first time the user uses the application) it will check: Does the directory 'XDG_PICTURES_DIR/Photos' exist? (this all translates, so in Spanish this would be Imágenes/Fotos) If it does not, then F-Spot will create the directory, if it does, then it continues. Finally F-Spot will set the default storage path for the users Photos to be: 'XDG_PICTURES_DIR/Photos' I have tested this patch thoroughly and it builds + works perfectly on Karmic.

[Bug 127315] Re: F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder
Hey, Rugby, can you please confirm with upstream that they will pursue the same folder naming strategy? I worry because using Pictures/Photos is a lot like using Music/Songs to store your song files -- it seems redundant and not entirely clear the folders are named that way. It would be a shame for upstream to go with using just the Pictures folder, or Pictures/F-Spot, and then we'd have to continue carrying your patch, and apply it to a codebase that is moving towards complex XDG userdirs support. -- F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 127315] Re: F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder
On the upstream bug report, many of the people were saying they wanted it in Pictures/Photos as users may want to keep backgrounds etc. separate, in all the patches at that upstream bug, the directory was Pictures/Photos They also said the Pictures/F-Spot was definitely not what they wanted. Another reason to do it Pictures/Photos is that F-Spot starts putting folders like 2009 etc. in the folder, which would not mix well with things such as backgrounds that cannot have a date. Also if you look at F-Spot's tag line, 'photo management software' you can see what it is designed for.

Instead of copying the files, perhaps it should symlink them in it's index? AFAIK there's no overhead to using symlinks; and it would easily be able to identify and action on missing photos as the symlink will be broken. I guess the problem there is platform compatibility, although straight copying could be the fallback on systems without symlink support... -- F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 127315] Re: F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder
I think part of the problem comes from the fact that F-Spot organizes photos in the ~/Photos directory. It's not really a user directory, as users can't move photos around inside this directory without breaking F-Spot's database. Whereas the ~/Pictures directory is the place where users should put there pictures, and be free to move/remove them at will without breaking anything. So, I think that: - whether F-Spot should use a hidden folder to store the photos it imports (to avoid users from playing with the files, and ending up breaking F-Spot's database). For example, it could be ~/.f-spot/photos. - or F-Spot should behave the same way Rhythmbox does, which means that it should be able to automatically import any new photo copied into the ~/Pictures folder, remove pictures from its database that have been removed from ~/Pictures, and automatically copy every file it imports into the ~/Pictures folder. This way, the ~/Pictures folders would be a user-manageable folder and would still work with F-Spot. -- F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 127315] Re: F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder
I think that the second option would be better. My main problem with this is, when you first import your pictures, it makes a second copy of them on your hard drive which can take up quite a lot of space. -- F-Spot puts photos in Photos folder not Pictures folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
