[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 484018] Re: F-spot deletes pictures from camera instead of hard drive after seemingly importing a roll

[Murrquan]

CLARIFICATION

In the Nautilus interface -- the thing that you get by clicking the
F-Spot button in Nautilus, when browsing your digital camera or a photo-
containing memory card -- the dialog box is called "Select Photos to
Copy from Camera ... " and only the highlighted photos are actually
copied. Furthermore, it includes a "Target location" selector which lets
you decide where you want to put the photos when they are copied over.

The problem is technically user error here, but the error was caused by
an inconsistent interface. I thought that F-Spot's own import dialogue
worked the same way as the one built into Nautilus, and made some
unfortunate decisions based on that. I also was working from the
assumption that pics I was seeing in F-Spot's main interface had already
been copied to my hard drive, since I was unaware that they could be
catalogued without copying them ... or that I could go through the whole
import dialog, and have all my pictures show up on the screen, without
my pictures actually being imported. I honestly thought that the "Copy
to photos" option was like the "Target location" selector, just more
limited.

Perhaps this bug should be changed to something like "F-Spot's import
dialog is inconsistent with the built-in Nautilus import's"?
