[Shotwell] Two issues while trying to import from f-spot

[Lucas Beeler]

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this! This is indeed a bug, because Shotwell
includes code that "sanitizes" (i.e. removes forward slash characters
from) tag names on import. Shotwell does this on import from the
filesystem and auto-import, but it doesn't properly run the
sanitization code during F-Spot import. I've ticketed this issue
here:http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4108

Cheers,
Lucas

Since shotwell uses slashes to produce a tag hierarchy, it cannot handle this. After changing the respective tags, shotwell now is importing flawlessly.
