But seriously, this is the best tool. That's not just on linux either. It beats at least the first few versions of iPhoto hands down (i haven't used the more recent ones). With duplicates detection, it beats the current iphoto too! (i had a OSX user friend of mine comment about how mad she got after spending more than an hour removing duplicates only to have iphoto crash and them all come back again!). so having such a feature would totally rock. also makes testing some things easier (waiting for an import of tens of thousands of photos too often gets dull). > > so, after removing the f-spot database and starting my import again, i > > got an error during import: > > This is really strange because I have tested it a lot. totally sympathise :) > I have right now exactly the same problem.

It'd be great if there was a way to find out the file names of the duplicates (so i could actually go and delete the duplicate photos). -- Stewart Smith (stewart flamingspork com) http://www.flamingspork.com/
