GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 730780
False flagging of duplicates prevents importing photos
Last modified: 2021-05-19 14:03:31 UTC
Created attachment 277251 [details] Shotwell import log listing images as duplicates that really aren't in the library. Some, most photos are imported. Others, taken by the same device seconds apart, are not. They have names like: IMG_20140526_170734.jpg so it's not that previously-imported photos had the same name but were deleted from the phone camera's storage. They are still shown when 'hide duplicates' is checked, but when imported, they are left behind and reported as duplicates (log attached). This is maddening, but no one else has reported the problem so i wonder if it has been fixed or somehow related to my setup? USB connection to a Nexus 5 phone is what i'm importing from; Shotwell recognizes it as a camera. 0.15.0 is the latest version in the default Ubuntu repository (13.10).
I am having the same problem. Trying to import image files from a camera memory card... photos taken on the same day and around the same time... flagged as duplicates at import time, and yet Shotwell does not show them. I have tried to copy the files to the destination folder and then import from there, and I can confirm that the photos are *in* that folder, but they do not show up ... Wait... looking into the Events menu, I am finding two *different* date "events" for the same date, each with different sets of photos from that date. I can merge these... that might fix the problem. Wonder why this happens?
Probably solved by https://github.com/abrauchli/shotwell/commit/f9222a979385a40988730713bc7a9caf96b2cef4
