CLARIFICATION In the Nautilus interface -- the thing that you get by clicking the F-Spot button in Nautilus, when browsing your digital camera or a photo- containing memory card -- the dialog box is called "Select Photos to Copy from Camera ... " and only the highlighted photos are actually copied. Furthermore, it includes a "Target location" selector which lets you decide where you want to put the photos when they are copied over.
The problem is technically user error here, but the error was caused by an inconsistent interface. I thought that F-Spot's own import dialogue worked the same way as the one built into Nautilus, and made some unfortunate decisions based on that. I also was working from the assumption that pics I was seeing in F-Spot's main interface had already been copied to my hard drive, since I was unaware that they could be catalogued without copying them ... or that I could go through the whole import dialog, and have all my pictures show up on the screen, without my pictures actually being imported. I honestly thought that the "Copy to photos" option was like the "Target location" selector, just more limited. Perhaps this bug should be changed to something like "F-Spot's import dialog is inconsistent with the built-in Nautilus import's"? -- F-spot deletes pictures from camera instead of hard drive after seemingly importing a roll https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
