I am new to Shotwell. I had started out, and things seemed to be going OK. 
However, I goofed somewhere along the line. I did something like creating a new 
library which resulted in Shotwell loading every image in my computer! I don't 
know where it went, nor what exactly happened.

I tried deleting all the files that I could find that referred to Shotwell, 
uninstalled Shotwell completely, and re installed it. Now when I open Shotwell 
and try to import from a file, it starts loading everything. I am not given the 
option to "Load in Place" or whatever. It just keeps chugging along.  There was 
nothing in the apps section about Shotwell when I tried gconf-edit.

I started it again. Again, it just started auto importing (I do not know where 
to). I quit, then found Shotwell in gconf-edit, and auto import was not 
selected.

What do I have to do to get back to the start, and not autoimport, and be able 
to import without copying images? I cannot figure out what to do to get it back 
to a clean start, where it did give me the option.

I can see by df -k that as I am importing, space is being used up in my home 
directory, presumably because the images are being copied somewhere, but where?
Perhaps it is just the Thumbnails being generated in .shotwell.  But why am I 
no longer given the option of how I want to do the import?

Thanks,

Murray
