Lorenzo, First, this sounds a bit like this bug:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4834 I just tried to reproduce your problem: I connected to an SMB share from Nautilus, and then in Shotwell I set my library directory to a directory under ~/.gvfs representing a directory on the SMB share. I then imported a few photos and at first it seemed to work: the photos were copied to the remote share. But then Shotwell hung and I had to kill it. So it looks like I saw a different form of failure than you did. :) In any case, I've opened a new ticket here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5764 To be honest, I think investigating this won't be a high priority for us since we're not huge fans of SMB, but I hope we'll get a chance to look into this more at some point.

I keep my photos on a remotely mounted SMB share, and with fspot I used to create a link to .gvfs/whatever on wherever/Photos -> ~/Photos. If I try to select this location on shotwell it places the pictures in my home (~/2012 and so on). I tried forcing the dir with gconf-editor but didn't work, still placing them on the home. Isn't this supported? thanks -- Lorenzo Milesi - [email protected] GPG/PGP Key-Id: 0xE704E230 - http://keyserver.linux.it _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
