weird error (does not exist) on import

[Sven Utcke <sven utcke gmx de>]

Hi,

Anybody knows what is happening here?

In my ancient version of f-spot

acer>/home/utcke% f-spot --version
F-Spot  0.4.3.1 - (c)2003-2008, Novell Inc
Personal photo management for the GNOME Desktop

I do

acer>/home/utcke% f-spot --import /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg
[...]
looking for /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg
Scanning /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01

Stopping

This opens the typical import dialog, in which I can see the image in
question --- although the filename displayed under the thumbnail is
"9/1/2009".  I then click "Import" and get told:

The directory you selected "/home/utcke/
Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg" does not
exist. Please choose a different directory

This is weird.  The directory of course does exist:

acer>/home/utcke% ls -ld /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01
drwxr-xr-x 4 utcke utcke 4096 2010-12-19 22:59 /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01

even though /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg is of course a
file:

acer>/home/utcke% ls -ld /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg-rw-r--r-- 1 utcke utcke 3068471 2009-09-01 19:50 /home/utcke/Photos/2009/09/01/img_1557.jpg

So, why can't I import this file (which, after all, is shown correctly
in the dialog)?  What could I do without reimporting importing all the
other files in the directory?

Baffled

Sven
