Hello all, Back from vacation and just catching up on with my voluminous inbox.
Simon, the process you're describing is technically incorrect. Shotwell's import system is not serialized like that (download photo, make thumbnails, add to database, download next photo, etc.) It's a parallelized process, with multiple threads performing operations at once. For camera import, it downloads the photos and submits them to the system in batches, which then go through and examine the file, generate thumbnails, etc. However, that background does do a preliminary examination of the file after each one is downloaded, including a checksum operation, which may be the reason your camera is timing out. I've ticketed this issue here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3051 -- Jim On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Vincent <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe this is an issue for big file, but this is great with my 4 Mpixel > camera: it makes me have a quick look of the imported files and is really > better and prettier than a progress bar! > _______________________________________________ > Shotwell mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell > _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
