Description Christian Krause 2010-10-17 21:06:17 UTC 
f-spot --import ignores its additional argument (usually the path to the files which should be imported) and so the import window will always show an empty import screen (instead of opening automatically the supplied import source)

how to reproduce:
"f-spot --import /directory/with/pictures"
or
"f-spot --import /home/user/.gvfs/gphoto2 mount on usb%A001,002" (or whatever directory is created by gvfsd)

expected behavior:
Import dialog opens and shows a preview of the pictures of the provided directory (and/or its subdirectories)

current behavior:
only empty Import dialog is presented, the user has to choose the import source manually

comment:
It looks like that the function "StartImport (SafeUri uri)" from src/Clients/MainApp/FSpot/MainWindow.cs ignores that uri argument completely.

I can confirm the bug. In version 0.615 the import still worked. The bug is annoying because importing, e.g., from e-mail attachments is very inconvenient, now.

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Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master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.
