We have a ticket for this here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2593 This shouldn't be too hard, so I hope we'll be able to implement this for Shotwell 0.9 at the latest. > > 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.
