Hi,

this is my first mail to this list. I am currently looking into options to organize my photo archive. So far I had a simple directory tree and tried to keep track by naming directories and such. Now, I would love to use the metadata of my images and ease that work a litte. Shotwell seams to be the solution, but I am facing problems from the beginning:

Whenever I try to import (importing from filesystem, selecting a directory with images, typically in jpg format), I end up with a message that some files could not be imported due to a file system error. I still find those files in the library afterwards. Still, it is difficult to trust that none of my files gets lost. However if I want to migrate to Shotwell, I must make sure that I do not loose some of my images due to errors hidden in these error messages that occur all the time.

So my question is whether this is a known problem and a solution exists for it. For completeness, I am running Ubuntu 10.10, and the file system holding my images is a reiserfs3.

Thank you for any hint or help, cheers,

Lars.
