OK, I have tried that, but still no joy.  It had not occurred to me
that it is up to the tablet, I had assumed that Shotwell was iterating
the folders looking for image files.  I have set the tablet up to use
MTP, Shotwell did not see it at all when I tried PTP.

I don't know if it is relevant, but in the import preview in Shotwell
it shows the thumbnails as a red circle and diagonal line on a grey
background rather than the actual image.
