[Shotwell] importing directly from SMB share?

[Jim Nelson]

Unfortunately, not in the current release.  The SMB share needs to be
mounted in such a way that its files are available as "normal" files -- i.e.
mounted on the filesystem and accessible without a URI.

If you can get the NAS mounted on your filesystem, it should work.
