Yes, ~/Pictures/Photos exists and contains lots and lots of photos from before Shotwell went senile ;)
I guess one detail I didn't mention is that _some_ folders in my home folder are symlinks to a larger hard drive (while everything else lives on an SSD). ~/Pictures and ~/Pictures/Photos, however, are not: they live completely on the SSD. Playing with it now, it does seem to have stopped immediately reverting my changes to import-dir in dconf: it stays set to /home/dylan/Pictures/Photos when I start Shotwell, and it appears to do the right thing. However, Preferences still shows "Import photos to (None)". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975636 Title: Trouble setting library location to Pictures/Photos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/975636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
