Output log

I recently upgraded to shotwell 0.24.5 in Ubuntu 16.10.

When I do "Import all" from a plugged device, it keeps saying "Preparing to import" but it's actually importing them, as I can see the disk being used.
(see attachment of screenshot).

When it ends "preparing import", it displays the resume dialog, enumerating duplicated, imported and not imported and go to "Last import" tab. (see attachment of screenshot)

I've attached also a log of the an import with export SHOTWELL_LOG=1, but I think it doesn't clarify anything since that log hadn't got updated during import.

Output log

Re-uploaded since in the former log I did press import, but It didn't find any new picture to import so it imported nothing.
Comment 5 Jens Georg 2017-10-07 06:54:30 UTC 
I think this is improved in master or perhaps 0.26
