  shotwell is a whole different rabbit hole.  :)

  when you imported did you say make a copy the files or not?

  if not then the original files should be where they
were before.

  the Edit->Preferences should tell you where the files were
copied to or where things are stored.

  along with that space there are files in 
.local/share/shotwell/data

-rwx------ 1 me me 6449152 Jun 27 09:34 photo.db
-rwx------ 1 me me 6449152 Jun 27 09:34 photo.db.bak

  thumbnails are in .cache/shotwell/thumbs

  is the camera turned on?  it won't show up for me if it isn't
turned on.

  i do not use shotwell to access the camera myself.
