GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 537820
Unable to import photos/crash when library folder not accessible
Last modified: 2018-07-01 08:57:48 UTC
this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/237110 "When I try to import photos from my camera and the folder where I store all my photos using F-Spot, i.e. when my external hard drive is not powered on while I try to import my photos, it is not possible to accomplish that task. First, F-Spot notifies me that that folder is unavailable. After that it continues to download image previews etc. Once that is done, and I click on import, an error message is displayed and F-Spot closes when I click on cancel. This even happens when I choose to import the photos to another folder." debug log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15199274/f-spot-debug.txt Thanks,

Comment on attachment 113136 [details] [review] fix-import-path-not-accessible.patch Maintenance update: In the past we've been less than stellar in reviewing patches. As such we have a pile of patches in bugzilla which are outdated and don't apply anymore. Am currently marking all of these as "needs-work". My apologies for this. Since I've become a maintainer of the project, I've set the personal rule of quickly reviewing all patches, to avoid that this happens again. If you (or anyone) wants to go through the trouble of updating this patch, please talk to us to figure out if it fits in the F-Spot long term roadmap. Should you, in the future, notice a patch lingering around for too long, please notify us immediately and we'll look into it, to avoid situations like these from happening again.

f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
