It seems this is a gphoto bug + Android DCIM spec implementation being wrong, if I read upstream's report comments right.
Upstream @gphoto: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3000202&group_id=8874&atid=108874 Android issue 2960: Camera / DCIM compliance problem: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2960 I am raising this to high as Android devices are increasingly common and many replace hand-held cameras now. This problem essentially makes Shotwell import (and others depending on gphoto, I presume) unusable for practical purposes. Shotwell being a core application and given Android devices increasing penetration, this issue will only affect an increasing number of users. Although there is a proposed fix in Android's code, it won't make it in a practical timeframe (or at all) for most Android phones/devices users (unless perhaps those using CyanogenMod or other modified code). Perhaps Shotwell could implement a configurable preference to only scan certain directories and exclude Thumbnails. I'll comment on that upstream @Shotwell. ** Bug watch added: SourceForge.net Tracker #3000202 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3000202 ** Bug watch added: code.google.com/p/android/issues #2960 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2960 ** Also affects: gphoto2 via http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3000202 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771757 Title: Shotwell does not pick up on Android pictures properly.
