Description Matt Price 2006-02-19 21:46:55 UTC 
RUnning f-spot 1.8-1 on debian/sid.

Just discovered f-spot and love it, so would like to start using it to organize
and save emails as they come through the mail.  To do this, I would need to be
albe to 

f-spot --import photo_name

while f-spot is running.  In my opinion, this should open up a new import window
with a single photo in it.  Currently, this comand opens a dialog box asking me
to choose a folder.  Since most email clients store these attachments in /tmp/,
it's not easy to find the relevant image.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

This comment is about an other issue with the command-line options for f-spot. I do agree that the command-line interface could be enhanced. When you feel this should be an other issue, please ask.

I wrote a script wich creates a new directory and tries to import this directory into f-spot. This brings up a pop-up menu, with the option to copy the photos to the photo-directory checked. I think there should be a command-line-parameter to uncheck this option. Also, i do not want this pop-up-menu (or dialoguebox) when invoked from the cli.

Thanks
