I tested Shotwell 0.11 from the Natty PPA and found 3 major problems:
1. It is still not possible to exclude RAW files from import. This makes
Shotwell unusable if one keeps images in hierarchical folders like for
dates and develops the JPEGs into sub folders.
2. I am keeping my RAWs in one folder hierarchy and publish all images
of a certain quality into another folder structure on the same partition
(by Lightroom). If I select now this folder of published images Shotwell
only shows the partition in the options. Also it starts to import the
other images on the same partition but on a different folder.
I think you are saving only the partition not the folder in the database
(the first import works well). But they don't have to be always memory
cards ;-)
3. Just seen that the hierarchical tags are only sometimes imported
correctly from LR. Have to investigate further. But looks like an
algorithm bug since even top level nodes are duplicate but only a few
images are in the duplicate node.
