Importing from Camera doesn't place photos in proper heirarchy
Last modified: 2009-05-13 17:47:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am using 0.5.0.3-1ubuntu6. When importing from camera, it asks for a target directory. There are a few problems: 1) The target directory doesn't default to the default import folder specified in preferences as it should. 2) Photos imported from a camera are not arranged in a YYYY/MM/DD structure. Even if I select the default target directory as the default import folder, the photos get imported flatly into the directory. (ie: /Photos/img0001.jpg /Photos/img0002.jpg) Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the import photos dialog 2. Select a camera 3. Choose a target directory 4. Import the photos Actual results: The photos get importing into the target directory in a flat format (even when choosing the target directory as the default import directory). Ex: /Media/Photos/img0001.jpg /Media/Photos/img0002.jpg etc Expected results: Imported photos (at least those imported to the default import directory) should be placed in a heirarchical structure such as those imported straight from a directory. Does this happen every time? Only when importing from a camera which is inconsistent with importing from a folder. Other information: A checkbox in the import dialog whether to use the YYYY/MM/DD structure when importing is called for while still allowing a user to choose a target directory. Another alternative would be to use the heirarchy when importing to the default import directory but importing flatly when choosing an alternative directory.
