You can of course open the mounted Windows share in Nautilus and drag the folder directly into Shotwell to import it. But if you want to use the File->Import From Folder menu item instead, then you're right that Shotwell does not list network shares in the resulting dialog. It would be nice to include them there: I've created a ticket at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2392 . > > Sure thing it has to treat them as undated.

That might be easier since you wouldn't need to run under gdb every time. If you want more detailed advice about how to do this then just let me know. adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
