Hi Brian, > (1) All sorts of icons (.png or .mdpi.png files) are downloaded from the > phone, clearly parts of applications; plus album cover artwork and > wallpapers.

We have a ticket for it: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1903 and have also filed a ticket with gphoto: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3000202&group_id=8874&atid=108874. > So, is there any way to get shotwell to restrict itself to the DCIM > directory? Not really. The best workaround is what you're already doing, using "Import from Folder..." with the mounted camera. > (2) More seriously, there are a number of videos on the phone in .3gp > format, and for some reason these are not imported at all.

This does appears to be an issue with gphoto as well.

I believe the thumbnails come from gphoto, and are not available for png files, and occasionally not available for a jpeg file. If you could send us a jpeg for which a preview did not display, we can look into it.
