". It just so happens it's only one of the few "well-known directories" that Shotwell defines."
I'm surprised at this assumption. DCIM (and filename rules) are part of now-ancient standards for digital cameras: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_system Mobile phones with cameras have by long convention also offered this filesystem layout. My current iOS 9 device still does this, for example. This is nothing to do with Shotwell's preferences. ** Changed in: shotwell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Also affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mtp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283871 Title: Default mount points not suitable for photo import Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in mtp package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When I plug my Ubuntu Phone into my desktop I want to be able to import photos easily into my photo manager of choice (Shotwell in my case but others are available apparently). The photos should be available via a "DCIM" folder, but they're in "Photos" which Shotwell doesn't find. While I could use the "Import from folder" and navigate my way to Photos, I'd rather it Just Worked. Could we export photos over the "standard" DCIM folder to make this easier for everyone?
