[Shotwell] Call for testing

[Jim Nelson]

Thanks, Ingo.  Unfortunately gPhoto's -1 error is a generic code, which
means anything could've happened (although it does originate from the port
layer, i.e. USB).

Much thanks for testing this out and letting us know what you found.

Cheers,

-- Jim Nelson
