Bug Description
Binary package hint: f-spot
Ubuntu provides, by default, a ~/Photos directory, suggesting to new users that this is a good place to put your pictures.
However, F-Spot is unable to actually view this directory without importing (and attempting to duplicate, by default!) everything in it. This is especially irritating to users moving large existing photo collections into a new Ubuntu install.
gthumb is able to function without "importing"

I agree, F-Spot is stupid. I have over 20,000 photos, about half of which are RAW. F-Spot is completely unusable for me, and it's the first thing I remove on a fresh install. It gets replaced by digiKam.
