---- Reported by adam@yorba.org 2011-01-26 12:29:00 -0800 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 3132 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3132 Searchable id: yorba-bug-3132 Original author: Adam Dingle Original description: Suppose that I do the following (in either Shotwell 0.8.1 or in trunk): Start Shotwell and import a photo in place which is not in the library directory. Exit Shotwell. In Nautilus, move the photo to a new directory. Start Shotwell. The photo will be missing. Drag the photo from the new directory into Nautilus, and elect to import in place. In Shotwell 0.7.2, Shotwell will import the file, but it will also remain missing. In Shotwell 0.8.1 and in trunk, Shotwell will report that the file is a duplicate and will decline to import it. All this behavior is surprising to me: I had thought, erroneously, that in this situation all versions of Shotwell since 0.7 would mark the photos as no longer missing and update their location in the database to the new location.Jim, let's discuss more when you're around. ---- Additional Comments From shotwell-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-05-01 11:39:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Adam Dingle almost 3 years ago * **Tracker** changed from _Feature_ to _Bug_ I discussed with Jim and he confirmed that Shotwell should restore missing files on a reimport from a new location: that was always the intended behavior.
