Preferences -> "Import photos to:" displays incorrect folder

[rob]

When selecting a Library Location to import photos to in the preferences, it will display the wrong folder under certain circumstances.

For example, if you want to set the location to ~/foobar/pictures, you click "other..." and in the file-chooser dialog, double-click the "foobar" folder, then highlight the "pictures" folder and click "open", shotwell will display your choice, and the Library Location will be displayed as "pictures". But if you close the preferences window, and reopen it again, you will see that "foobar" is now listed as the Library Location.

To actually select the "pictures" folder, you have to double click on the pictures folder from the file chooser dialog, and then click "open". Showell will now display the exact same thing it did in the earlier case, only this time the setting "sticks" properly, and this can be verified by closing the preferences and opening it again and seeing that it has not changed.

Hi, and thank you for reporting this.

I just tried this in the current trunk, and it's 100% reproducible. I've ticketed it on our side; please see http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4523.

Apologies for bothering those watching this bug, but I'd like to let everyone know this has been fixed upstream and will be available in the next point release; please see http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/repository/revisions/8be51587fb776e5c398dedd67138e105e93011e2 for details.

Further to comment #3, fix would have been in Ubuntu for some time
Works as intended with Shotwell 0.30.2 in Ubuntu 19.10 (dev)
So closing as fixed
