When I start to use Shotwell, I already have a vast collection of photos and camera movies. Thay are all stored in date based Folders. I want to merge it into shotwell and have photo's and movies on the same date linked to the same event. This can be done based on the creation date of the avi, mts etc files.
The current situation (v.12.?) is that all movies are put into the category "No event". It is very difficiult to link all (1000+) movies back to their original event manually. It is very difficult to find a movies that was shot in relation to a certain event.
The behavior should be like that for camera card imports where moves are indeed linked to the event correctly.
In this situation it is almost impossible to migrate from i.e. digikam to shotwell.
Yes I think this is a bug. It inhibits normal usage of the program.
I think Shotwell is a great alternative, but this issue must be tackled before I can recommend it to my fellow ubuntu users and or use it myself instead of bulky digikam.
