F-Spot automatically scanning ~/Photos on startup

["Jordan Miller" <jordan d miller gmail com>]

All,

I was wondering if I could make a plea to have F-Spot scan the ~/Photos directory on startup for new pictures that have been copied into the directory.

I run F-Spot on two machines and then sync the directories using a cron job. The problem is that the files which are copied into the other instance's ~/Photos directory don't appear because they were not imported using the tool. Projects like Rhythmbox scan my ~/Music folder and are very aware of changes to the file system. Is this functionality available (and would it be useful?) in F-spot?

Thanks,
