Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: shotwell
Using an Android device, Shotwell scans the entire directory for
pictures. It also picks up pictures used by apps. Whereas it should only
pick up pictures taken by the camera and sent by bluetooth.
Considering that there are other camera applications which can also
create thier own folders outside of the 'offical' folder. I would
suggest Shotwell look for pictures taken by the phone's camera (which is
marked by metadata depicting it as such) as well as scanning Bluetooth
folders. (Which no apps now create their own versions of) and to ignore
all other folders.
As it is right now, Shotwell can pick up and remove pictures from the
device which damage or make unusable applications on the phone.
Requiring a reinstall of the application.
