F-spot acts differently if import is done at camera plugin compared to import from program later

[Thomas Novin]

Binary package hint: f-spot

I have found that F-spot acts differently if you import pictures from the dialog when you plug in your camera compared to if you start F-spot manually, then choose Photo > Import.

In case #1 you get filenames with lower case (dsc010101.jpg) + permissions set to 644.

In case #2 you get filenames which are untouched (DSC010101.JPG) + permissions set to 700.

$ apt-cache policy f-spot

This is related to bug #249230 (which only mentions lower case filenames).

found your upstream report, please do not forget to link it on launchpad as well if you filed a bug in ubuntu, thanks.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

Forgot that, sorry and thanks for your help.

In the 100papercuts project we concentrate on the bugs that are system-wide, rather than small app-specific bugs.

Thanks for the report.

Should be fixed in 0.7.0 available in Maverick
