Title:
  f-spot imports picture files incompletely

Status in “f-spot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: f-spot

  Hi,

  when I use F-Spot to copy files (Nikon D300s RAW files) from memory
  cards to my computers (problems seen on two different machines,
  desktop and netbook), three different problems occur not always, but
  quite often:

  * picture file copied incompletely (loss of data)
  * picture file copied again every time the card is inserted (does not recognize that the file already exists)
  * F-Spot reports that it can't access the file

  
  I guess that - like Network Manager and other broken-by-design tools - make too much use of the desktop mechanisms, and that they are not stable. 

  I do not think that it is a good idea to have such a buggy and
  unreliable tool as the default picture processor under ubuntu.

  Especially the loss of data is severe.

  regards
