Re: importing and saving of pictures

[Stephane Delcroix <stephane delcroix org>]

The fact that f-spot does not move the file on date change is, indeed, a
bug. You can file it in bugzilla.

If you want to update the metadatas in the files (for further reimport),
check the 'Write Metadata to file' checkbox in the Preferences Dialog.

If you don't want to copy the file while dragging a folder, press shift
while dragging (as described in the docs).
