"I have a Canon PowerShot A430 which can take video (AVI) as well as photos.

When attaching the camera a second time, duplicate jpegs are skipped but the AVIs are re-imported, with xxx.avi becoming xxx-1.avi

$ find Pictures -name '*.avi' | sort

However they are clearly identical files:

It would be helpful if byte-identical files could be skipped."
Comment 1 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:57:23 UTC
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Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master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.
