[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 355281] [NEW] photo import from memory card is poor

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hi,

when you plug in a memory card into an ubuntu machine, it automatically
mounts the file system. And if it contains pictures taken with a
digicam, it automatically offers to launch f-spot for importing.

However, the import functions of f-spot are annoying, they are slow, get
into trouble if a file name already exists (i.e. runs into gnome error
messages instead of beeing able to deal with it), can't reliably detect
dupes, and for some reason I don't know puts imported pictures in my
home directory instead of the configured folder (as ~/Photos), while
destroying the folder structure by putting them as a flat file
collection in the home directory. This is poor and causes trouble.

I'd therefore propose to search for an alternative import program which
deals with all those special cases and does this as fast as cp -a .

Unfortunately, I did not yet find any better alternative to propose.

regards
Hadmut
