A couple of points:
- Shotwell supports symbolic links only to directories, not to files.
- Today, Shotwell actually follows symbolic links only when
autoimporting from the library directory. I should have bee more clear
about that in my previous email - sorry about that. We'd like to make
Shotwell follow symbolic links during all imports - see
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2983
That won't make 0.9, however.

I am running 0.8.1 and I can confirm that:
ln -s /path/to/target/file /path/where/you/want/the/link
then try to import from that location in shotwell
This gets you an error. Perhaps this is different in the new version 0.9.

I have done some more tests and conclude that I cannot make Shotwell follows
symbolic links.
Here are the steps that I use:
1. In Nautilus:
1.1. right click on an image folder and chose *Create a link*
1.2. copy/paste the symbolic link into another empty folder
2. In Shotwell:
2.1 Click on the menu *File* | *Open a folder*
2.2. Select the folder where you have paste the symbolic link
=> No image is imported into Shotwell.
Do you reproduce this issue?
Thanks for your answer.
