Description Paul Ionescu 2006-02-18 10:58:26 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When importing photos from a digital camera, the status bar always shows
"Downloading SOMETHING from SOMEWHERE" even if the operation in progress is
"Deleting" or "Rotating" "SOMETHING from SOMEWHERE".
Only tested with my USB PTP digital camera, but may happen to all imports.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Plug an USB PTP camera and choose File/Import Photos.
2. Select "Delete imported images from the camera"
3. Click "Import" button



Actual results:
The photos are imported and deleted from camera, but the status bar in the
dialog is wrongly showing only "Downloading SOMETHING from SOMEWHERE"

Expected results:
The status bar should correctly display the actual operation like:
"Downloading SOMETHING from SOMEWHERE"
"Deleting SOMETHING from SOMEWHERE"
"Rotating SOMETHING"


Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
It would be nice to also have a checkbox for "Automaticaly rotate photos" in the
import dialog. Right now, it is automatically rotating them according to the
EXIF info. While this is OK for most situations, some times one might want it
disabled, for instance when you just downloaded 4G of pictures off your camera,
you already spent a long time waiting for download, and don't want to wait for
rotating 4G pictures. Maybe I should open a feature request for this.

There is a key in gconf registry to disable "automatic rotation"
/schemas/apps/gthumb/dialogs/photo_importer/adjust_orientation

Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2006-10-19 12:49:52 UTC
Regarding your two points:

1) Status messages - the displayed status messages are provided by libgphoto, which for some reason provides status messages for imports but not deletes. I have  filed a bug report with libgphoto at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1580503&group_id=8874&atid=108874.

2) The version in CVS HEAD (2.9.0 and later) has a "Rotate Images Physically" checkbox in the import dialog. If it is enabled, the images are physically transformed and the exif orientation tag is reset to top-left. Otherwise, the images are imported with no changes.
Comment 3 Michael Chudobiak 2006-10-19 20:11:26 UTC
Status messages for deletes have been added to libgphoto SVN trunk by its developers (wow, same day service!).

This functionality should automagically appear in gthumb once you have a future release of libgphoto installed.

I'm closing this bug as "Fixed".
