In Edit -> Preferences, what is your Library Directory set to?

I tried this but still only one copy of the photo on my system:
# updatedb && locate 144420
/home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg

How are you importing the photos? Drag-and-drop or with File ->
Import
From Folder?

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.

There's many reasons. At the end of an import, Shotwell should
give you
a
list explaining why photos were not imported. In Shotwell 0.14,
it will
offer to save a text file giving a full report. The most likely
cases
are
that the photos were byte-for-byte duplicates of other photos
(Shotwell
won't import duplicates), that they are not photo files
(corrupted or
named
incorrectly), or that Shotwell doesn't support their data
format (GIF
is the
most prominent for example). -- Jim
Hi Jim, I import and copy my photos from /home/grant/photodump/
to
/home/grant/Pictures/. I have: # updatedb && locate
IMG_20130303_144420
/home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg # "Shotwell Import
Log.txt"
says: /home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg duplicates
existing
media item /home/grant/photodump/IMG_20130303_144420.jpg Can
you help
me
reconcile this? - Grant
I imported/copied a large number of photos into shotwell from a
folder
and I
was about to delete the folder but I noticed at least several
photos
that
did not import or copy. Why would some photos import and not
others? -
Grant
