I ran if from the menu, took it about 10 minutes to import my Pictures
tree and missed several subdirs contents. When I quit it, all traces of
the nearly 4000 pictures it claimed to have imported during the scan
simply disappeared, Probably still taking up disk space SOMEWHERE but no
clue where it might be. This isn't windows, why the secrecy?
shotwell is a whole different rabbit hole. :)
when you imported did you say make a copy the files or not?
Whaatever the default initial action was, took quite a few minutes to
process the Pictures dir, about 30% of it skipped when look at what it
obtained from the default initial action, and other than verifying some
thumbnails were missingm I did no further actions,, but quit it. You
are correct about the hole being different.
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
Looking at its menu's, I didn't find anything that indicated it could
access the turned on camera, if shotwell can, where is it in the menu's?
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.
