[Shotwell] Bug? Importing from Sony camcorder doesn't always work

[Richard Thomas]

Hi,

I think I may have found a bug in 0.8.0: I have a Sony camcorder which
produces FullHD video files and, when someone smiles, it saves a frame
of the film as a JPEG.

If I plug the camcorder into my PC, Shotwell picks up the camera and
is able to import the photos fine. Also, the first time I tried it, it
was able to import the videos fine.

After my first import with Shotwell, I used the camcorder's Delete All
functionality to empty its disk as we had a big family event coming
up.

After the event, I plugged the camcorder in, and ran the import, and
the following happened:

 - the photos were imported as expected
 - no film was imported, as, according to Shotwell the films were all duplicates
 - by copying the films to a folder on my Desktop and then importing
the folder, the files were all brought in correctly

Is this a bug with 0.8.0 or was I doing something wrong? If this seems
like a new bug to you, I should be able to try and reproduce it on
0.8.1 soonish.

Thanks

Rich
