Bug Description
Binary package hint: shotwell
Bug can be reproduced on my machine by opening Shotwell, going to File > Import From Folder... then choosing my /home/user/Pictures folder.
When I attempt to import the pictures a dialogue box comes up saying; "Import complete - 1 non-image file skipped".
This folder contains 491 items, 27 of them are subfolders, the rest are .jpg, .gif, .png, .pspimage, .psd etc.
This folder is a symlink to /media/
/media/share is a mounting point for an NTFS partion, perhaps related to this bug? https:/
Edit: Have just imported the photos from the directory rather than from the symbolic link and it has worked successfully so I guess that means it has a problem with the symbolic link. Other apps (for instance digiKam) work OK using this link.

This is a known bug in Shotwell:

It's too late to fix this for 0.8 - hopefully for 0.9.
