Public bug reported: Binary package hint: f-spot
Running: ubuntu 8.10, kernel linux 2.5.27-7 generic, GNOME 2.24.1 f-spot: Installed: 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages I have JPG image files with names like [EMAIL PROTECTED] The # and @ characters in the file names cause problems for f-spot, regardless of whether or not I choose to copy the files to the Photos folder on import. Immediately after import, the images display correctly. After restarting f-spot, the images no longer display correctly. 1. Import files that contain # and @ characters in their filenames. 2. f-spot displays the images no problem. 3. Quit f-spot. 4. Start f-spot. 5. f-spot no longer displays the images: it shows empty boxes in their place. Looking at the photos table in photos.db I see that the example image name given above shows in the uri column as: file:///home/paul/Pix/2007.03.15%23022%40italy.rome.yummy.pasta.jpg I guess the %23 and %40 stored by f-spot's import feature prevent f-spot from loading the images correctly after a restart. ** Affects: f-spot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- f-spot imports files with special characters in names but does not display the photos correctly on restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to f-spot in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
