Yeah, I think that's going to have to be the way you import photos from
the app. The problem we face with camera phones that expose their
entire filesystem (like Android) is that if we traverse the *entire*
filesystem for photos, we'll pick up images in its browser cache,
application resources, etc. Hence, we we want to limit where we look
for photos to well-known camera directories.

No, but as I recall we added a feature for Shotwell to search the

DCIM was not found looking for an appropriate root. I looked it up

(including AVCHD for video, /private/sony for guess-who's cameras,
and
/MP_ROOT).
Do you know where on the camera your photos are located? Maybe we
need to
add another common path.
I do know, but it is not going to be a common path, I am using an
Android app Note Everything which stores its photos in
noteeverything/photos. In fact it is not a big issue for me, it can
be done manually using Import from Folder, which is not a major
problem.

What version of Shotwell are you running? Older versions looked

in DCIM, but as I recall we patched it to look elsewhere.
Version 0.15.0 on Ubuntu 13.10 Do you mean you think it should
already
search the complete directory hierarchy on the attached device? It
does not
appear to do that for me. Colin
