Title:
shotwell fails to import images from folder (it seems to try and copy
the files over themselves)
Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have some images from my Canon S5 IS I was unable to mount via PTP
on this up to date Trusty machine, so I used a memory card reader and
copied the files to a local directory. I'm importing with "import from
folder" and selecting "copy" rather than "import in place". All the
input files are seen, but none are imported.
The error log shows entries like the following:
couldn't copy /home/bbogart/tmp/images/IMG_0201.JPG
to /home/bbogart/tmp/images/IMG_0201.JPG
error message: Error creating directory: Permission denied
This seems to indicate that the source and destination are the same
(source) filename, and the import fails due to trying to overwrite the
files in place.
Why would shotwell be trying to copy the files to the source location?
My photos are in ~/Photos and this is properly set in the preferences.
