Hi Jim, I import and copy my photos from /home/grant/photodump/ to
/home/grant/Pictures/.  I have:

# updatedb && locate IMG_20130303_144420
/home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg
#

"Shotwell Import Log.txt" says:

/home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg duplicates existing media item
/home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg

Can you help me reconcile this?

- Grant
