Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: f-spot
I just discovered that a great many photos were missing from my f-spot
photo collection today. The default photo download program in Ubuntu is
gthumb, which launches whenever I plug in my Canon A520 camera. gthumb
properly rotates portrait mode photos (as marked by the camera's
orentation sensor) so they appear correctly oriented in nautilus.
When I attempt to import these photos into f-spot, f-spot dumps a
message to the console, but otherwise silently fails to import the
picture. I've lost a number of pictures this way, because once the
pictures are "safely" in f-spot, I delete the folder that gthumb
created.
Here's what f-spot dumps when importing one of these pictures:
