So, I guess this bug should be summed up as: Setting the import directory to a path that already contains photos may fail silently, with Shotwell setting it back either to ~/Pictures or to (None).
Note that this happened to me after I deleted ~/.shotwell. My (very uneducated) guess is that the program may need to keep the files in the import directory in sync with the data in ~/.shotwell, ignoring the import-dir setting if that's not possible. -- 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
