@GARY CALDER: I’m sorry I can’t give a hand–for now, but on what system are you working.

Ok I installed the latest from svn, which, after a struggle (had to install exiftool) I got this, which was more helpful:

I just tried your program on a folder of pictures from my Minolta 5D and it failed to import them, giving the following error. (I successfully imported pictures from other folders, for that camera and also another, so I’ve no idea what might be causing it). Any idea?

It seems a reasonable alternative to F-Spot, for its easy to install and use
