All the pics are there, but the folder structure in the folder tab is a total chaos. It displays a treestructure that is not there, showing folders nested inside others that are nested inside others, etc, while they should be top level folders. Anyone else with the same experience?? hi,

Yes, it's almost a workaround, but until the new import dialog comes to life, it can be an option! ;) Guys, you can place your pictures wherever you want on the filesystem, and import them WITHOUT copying to Photos folder, so leaving the directory structure as preferred.

I like F-spot a lot but don't use it only because it moves my existing pictures out of their original folders. There is no need for that, my pictures are already well arranged per subject/vacation and I prefer it that way. So I'm excited to experiment with this new feature! I agree with Deech.

I mean you could store just thumbnails on the main drive and when the user wants to open it display something like "please insert volume foo" where foo would either be the volume label or a label chosen by the user...

It's something I have wanted for a while :) As far as how that should work, I think F-Spot should store thumbnails for all images locally, but support moving a photo to a backup disk, in the process removing it from the local disk. (Could be neatly referred to as "archiving"). In that process, the user could easily describe the disk he is sticking the stuff on (great for burning dvds). The photo would be easily available from the browsing view, then when the user tries to open it a message could appear asking to insert the disk it is known to be on. However it's done, though, I will seek out and hug the person who implements that feature.

Please, please let me CHOOSE whether I want this or not. Let me CHOOSE for my self if I want to be bothered with files and directories. I think I can manage that. I can't manage the other way around... You can let the default way be what you like, but please give me an option to keep and use my own folder structure!! Otherwise I will (have to) stick with digikam. Which is fine, but f-spot is better integrated in a gnome environemnt.
