Hi Grant,
You can't see the photo in Shotwell, but Shotwell -- at least according
to its own import log -- thinks that you've previously imported the
same file. I'm curious if you at some point (perhaps accidentally)
marked the photo as "Rejected?" If this is the case, you should be able
to see the photo by pressing F8 to bring up the Search Filter bar and
then choosing All+Rejected from the ratings filter popup.

In Edit -> Preferences, what is your Library Directory set to?

There's a shotwell option to rename to lowercase on import maybe it
got
renamed to lowercase? -Joe
I tried this but still only one copy of the photo on my system: #

&& locate 144420 /home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg # -

How are you importing the photos? Drag-and-drop or with File ->
Import From
Folder? -- Jim On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 12:16 PM, Grant

Could
shotwell have renamed the file when it was copied to the
destination folder?
I'm on 0.14.1. - Grant
There's many reasons. At the end of an import, Shotwell should give
you a
list explaining why photos were not imported. In Shotwell 0.14, it
will
offer to save a text file giving a full report. The most likely
cases are
that the photos were byte-for-byte duplicates of other photos
(Shotwell
won't import duplicates), that they are not photo files (corrupted
or named
incorrectly), or that Shotwell doesn't support their data format
(GIF is the
most prominent for example). -- Jim 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 I imported/copied a large number of photos into
shotwell from
a folder and I was about to delete the folder but I noticed at
least several
photos that did not import or copy. Why would some photos import
and not
others? - Grant
