Transformations and titles lost after adding photos to git annex repo
Mandatory: Shotwell version the issue was seen with
0.24.5
The expected behaviour
after adding photos to a git annex repository (which replaces files with symlinks) Shotwell is expected to recognize the photos and keep the transformations, titles and comments
What was actually happening
git annexing (changing file to a symlink) causes Shotwell to lose the transformations and titles. Although the photo is not missing.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- open shotwell, import a photo, perform cropping or straightening, add a title (without meta-data write-back)
- close shotwell
- cd to shotwell photo directory
- git init
- git annex init
- git annex add filename
- open shotwell
