I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from a much older version, and f-spot is the default photo manager, so I am trying to use it to maintain my photo collection, but I have several basic questions that weren't answered in the User's Guide or FAQ.
1. My previous photo collection is in ~/Photos. When I plug in my camera, an import is started automatically, and the files go to ~/Pictures/Photos. Is this the default place where pictures are supposed to go under Ubuntu now (Photos doesn't appear anymore in the default nautilus bookmarks, but Pictures does)? Should I move my old photos from ~/Photos to ~/Pictures? 2. Image files are not deleted from the camera upon import, so when I plug in my camera again, it tries to import the same photos. Will this cause a problem (other than wasting time and disk accesses)? Is it actually overwriting the old files with identical copies, or does it store the imported files elsewhere temporarily and only move them when I click "Import (check)" in the import dialog? Is there a way either to turn off this automatic import, or delete the files automatically from the camera, so they won't be imported twice? 3. My camera can also take videos, which are stored in the camera as .mpg and .thm files, but these aren't imported. Is there any provision for that? Thanks for your help, Todd Wilson _______________________________________________ f-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
