locate only finds the file in my target folder, not in my destination folder: # updatedb && locate IMG_20130303_144420 /home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg # But it refuses to import the file with the log message indicating it has already been imported. Could shotwell have renamed the file when it was copied to the destination folder? I'm on 0.14.1. - Grant > There's many reasons.
