[Fwd: Edit, Slideshow and Fullscreen functions don't work]



I wrote the attached, but then tried an older photo and the edit,
fullscreen and slideshow functions worked. I did discover something that
I'd forgotten which was I had some problem importing images from the
camera's SDcard. There is a break...images 629 and earlier are in the
auto generated folders...year, month, day while images 630 and after are
just in a list. Images 630 and after show in the "browse" mode, but then
as below. Images 629 and earlier - everything seems to work
It seems that all images after 630 are not properly being "imported."
When I try to import, images 630 and after are "greyed out"  I just
tried to manually create a "day" folder and moved images into the folder
and then imported the folder. Now in browse mode, the image shows twice
- one image works, one image as below- that is, edit, fullscreen and
slideshow don't work. I think I understand the double image, I manaully
moved an image and then F=spot copied the image.
It seems I have an import problem. In the past, I've twice moved
pictures from the camera's SD card to F-spot and the images have the
problems as described. Any advise. I'll be checking later.

First, I'm a rank beginner with Ubuntu and related applications. The
computer came with Ubuntu 9.01 and F-Spot preloaded. It worked great! I
upgraded to 9.04 and I noticed about the same time, that F-Spot was not
working correctly.  I'm traveling on vacation with computer, so ability
to log in is limited.
First noted change was in the way photos were filed... initially, a year
folder was set up, with a month subfolder set up and then a day folder
set up, all automatically. This went away and now the photos are just in
a long list.
Second, I would double click a photo and it would go into edit mode
where I had a large image and would proceed to add a
caption/description. Now, double clicking brings up a greyed out stock
slide image.
Third, fullscreen and slideshow don't work. I just get the stock greyed
out slide image.
I tried to "remove" F-Spot, restarted the computer and then "added"
F-Spot, but nothing changed.
I have about 765 photos and expect to add at least another 500 while on
vacation. 
I'm fully updated. As noted, I'm on vacation and ability to log in is
spotty. Appreciate your help.
