To achieve this, turn logging on in Shotwell. This is as simple as setting the environment variable SHOTWELL_LOG=1 before invoking Shotwell. Your debug output will end up in ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log. > I want to import my f-spot database > and copy them to a new location F-Spot import wasn't designed to work this way, particularly since F-Spot stores photos by default in the ~/Pictures directory, which Shotwell considers its library directory. So it's not as if the "copy to library" notion that applies to file import really applies to F-Spot import. The use case for F-Spot import was users who wanted to switch from using F-Spot to using Shotwell in one fell swoop. Specifically, the F-Spot import feature was added when Shotwell became the default photo manager in Ubuntu. Since F-Spot had previously been the default photo manager, we didn't want to leave former F-Spot users out in the cold. If you'd like, you could always backup your F-Spot photo directory (which is usually ~/Pictures/Photos) and your F-Spot data directory (which is usually ~/.config/f-spot), then use Shotwell for a while, and if you don't prefer Shotwell, simply restore your state from your backup and go back to running F-Spot. Just my two cents. Lucas _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
