After a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 I'm moving my files from the previous hard disk onto the new one. I decided to organise my pictures and Shotwell looks to be just the tool. I have about 2,800 photos. I started shotwell and pointed at my old Pictures directory for import and told it to copy all the originals to the new disk. I left it doing this overnight and in the morning it was finished, great.
Shotwell reported 159 had failed to import and listed a few of them in the message box. Additionally it reported some non-recognised format (these were .png/.gif) which I moved manually and 310 non-image files which were the avi videos from my camera, which I moved by hand. My main problem is with the 159 failed to import jpg files. i want to delete all the files from the old hard disk but don't want to loose 159 photos, particularly when I don't know which ones will be lost. How do I find out which have not been imported so that I can attend to them? I've tried the method proposed by Adam Dingle in the thread "Tracking file that have not successfully imported" but this doesn't seem to work. I can get the two sorted lists O.K. but each include the directory path in the filename and different directories are used. When I comm the files the result is the same as filelist1, i.e. suggesting that all the files are missing. It would be useful if Shotwell listed those files that failed to import in a separate .log file somewhere. Suggestions please for how I might identify which files have not been imported.
