OK, thanks Eric. I made some progress: gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files auto-import false This seems to work. Box "watch library directory for new files" is now unchecked in the preferences dialog, and Shotwell doesn't attempt to import files when started.
gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files import-dir '~/Pictures/shotwell' This only works if ~/Pictures/shotwell is empty. Otherwise "Import photos to" shows (None), and it doesn't. Weird. P.S. The reason I thought Shotwell uses gconf is that it populates gconf keys on startup. But I guess this must be a feature, not a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975636 Title: Trouble setting library location to Pictures/Photos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/975636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
