Bug Description
Binary package hint: f-spot
Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 beta.
- I have never opened F-spot before.
- I connected my camera and my camera folder appeared on my desktop (you can see here an other bug as F-Spot did not launched automatically).
- I opened the folder and clicked on top right on the button to open in F-Spot.
- I imported correctly my pictures in F-Spot.
- You can also see that F-spot did not complains that a 'Photos' folder is not present as it is already present.
The problem:
- My pictures have been imported in /home/myusername/ instead of /home/myusernam
- If I got in F-Spot preferences, I can see that Importation folder is correctly configured as /home/myusernam
- /home/myusernam

thanks for the report, i cannot reproduce this with jaunty as well, in the presence of the Photos folder f-spot imports the photos to that one, if there's no such directory it fallbacks to the home directory (and there's already a bug about that) could you please try to get a f-spot log with : f-spot --debug &> f-spot.txt reproduce the issue and attach the resulting file to the report? thanks in advance Jean.
