Re: [Bug 990725] Re: Shotwell will not detect mts moviefiles on memory card
As an aside, I believe I know what happened when it initially didn't
work; I've identified a repro case for it, although 90% of users
shouldn't have this problem.
When we start enumerating media files on a storage device, we
explicitly check several well-known paths, such as /DCIM, /AVCHD and
so on. Because most cameras seem to 'prefer' MS DOS- or Joliet-safe
filenames, usually, camera-created directories' pathnames are all
uppercase or all lowercase. However, if one were to have something
like '/PRIVATE/avchd/' or /private/AVCHD' on a storage device, while
the camera would probably 'see' it as '/PRIVATE/AVCHD/' work correctly
with it, gPhoto, and by extension, Shotwell wouldn't enumerate images
or video correctly, because there currently doesn't seem to be a way
to tell gPhoto to treat a path as being case-insensitive, and if we do
a case-insensitive directory search on Shotwell's side, we may end up
with a scenario where we think 'yes, /private/avchd exists, tell me
what's in it', when what gPhoto actually sees is a different (by case)
path and (correctly) reports no files (since, as far as it's
concerned, the path we're trying to look in doesn't really exist).
As for how to fix this definitively: the way forward would be to make
gPhoto able to report the existence of .nomedia files, and once this
happened, we could remove the whitelisting mechanism entirely, meaning
a user or imaging device could put photos or videos into any path they
wanted and still have correct results.

[Bug 990725] Re: Shotwell will not detect mts moviefiles on memory card
Hi Sebastien, I'm not sure why your MTS videos aren't being enumerated. But they're not, and this bug can't be marked as "fix verified" until they are. That said, the fix we implemented to correct this bug cannot cause a regression because it only expands the number of directories that Shotwell searches for video files. You can examine the changeset for the fix here: http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/repository/revisions/7b0340f9b6c4fda7bab1c9efc00bd22ccac6672a/diff/src/camera/ImportPage.vala and confirm this yourself. Therefore, it is our strong preference that this bug be marked as "failed verification without regression" so as not to delay the distribution of the 0.12.3 update, particularly because the 0.12.3 update corrects a critical issue that causes data loss (i.e. "Shotwell deletes tags at random, lp: #999108") and the fix for this latter, more serious issue has been verified. As another data point on the stability of 0.12.3, we ship Shotwell as a source tarball (see http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/) for users on other distros. Traffic on the mailing list confirms that users are building 0.12.3 from source -- on other distros as well as on Ubuntu -- and we've received no reports of any regression in video detection. Since 0.12.3 was released on May 9 and has been running in the wild for over two weeks now, we'd expect to hear about any regression that might've occurred. Just to re-iterate, from our perspective, the best way to go here is to mark this bug as "failed verification without regression." We'll fix this bug in the 0.13 cycle, but we don't think its verification failure should delay the push of the 0.12.3 update. Of course, you guys have your own perspectives and considerations, so you may want to do something different. We'll help in any way we can. Take care, Sebastien! All of us at Yorba look forward to linking up with you guys again at GUADEC this summer!

Hi Sebastien, Where do the videos normally get written to on a Lumix? Due to a workaround to some problems between GPhoto and many Android devices (http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1903), we've had to explicitly whitelist directories we want it to tell us about.

In 0.12 we changed Shotwell so that if a top-level DCIM directory is present on your camera or card, Shotwell looks only in that directory and no others. We did this to avoid importing lots of useless thumbnails on Android phones (see http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1903). Do you have a DCIM directory on your card? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990725 Title: Shotwell will not detect mts moviefiles on memory card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/990725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
