[Shotwell] Photos not getting copied to photo library...

Hello List,

I apologize if this has already been discussed on the list. I tried
searching the archives and the tickets and didn't see anything.

I had an Ubuntu box, and I installed shotwell. I imported a few
thousand photos, and everything was fine. Then I had hard drive
issues. I copied the photos, and the shotwell db files over to another
machine. I started up shotwell, and everything looked fine.

Then I tried to import new photos, and it refuses to copy them to the
photo library. It just puts the location to where I imported them from
in the shotwell db (I confirmed this by looking at the db file with
sqliteman).

When importing, I made sure the "copy files to library" box was
checked, but it doesn't seem to make any difference! Has anyone else
come across this?

Thanks,
Doug
