Bug Description

It would be nice if F-Spot at least had the option to treat libraries/imports the same as Rhythmbox, i.e. watch them for changes. I prefer not to use f-spot to import my photos, but do want to use it to organise them. However, if I import new photos to the "Photos" folder or delete ones I don't want anymore, F-Spot doesn't reflect that change.

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs
page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If
that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about
your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec
following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.

As well, you may wish to contact the F-Spot authors to suggest this
new feature.

I've added a spec; I've never done it before so don't know if I did it right.
