Choose "import folder", select the folder and THEN choose "Copy" instead of link. => the picture is not copied but stays where it is! When I open Nautilus using the context menu on this picture, the temp folder is shown! Tough bug! What happens when I choose to copy??? Is that ignored? Is it because it is a single picture?? Maybe this is important: I have a Solid State Disk with my home on it. But large amounts of data (like my pictures!) are stored on the second hard disk drive. So my "Pictures" folder is a symlink to a different partition!! ~/Pictures -> /homehdd/myuser/Pictures Maybe that is causing the trouble?? Also: copying the picture into the correct destination folder does not trigger the watch feature correctly! Shotwell does not realize there's a new picture!
