f-spot loses filename case on camera import

I have had the exact same thing happen using both the copy function in Nautilus and the program jfilesync. It makes me suspect that this is not a problem in f-spot but something higher up. It is a problem when jfilesync is trying to compare two filesystems and thinks the files are not on the second one because they are a different case than the source.

this looks pretty similar to bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544193 which is known upstream, thanks for reporting.

Trivial Patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544193#c1 : Remove the .ToLower call in the second import dialog, leaving the filename be
as-is.

I have submitted a related but not exactly the same bug, #344992. That bug is about case + permissions (just not filename case).

This bug was fixed in the package f-spot - 0.7.1-1

f-spot (0.7.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * New upstream release 0.7.1 "The Big Switch"
   + Second release of the unstable 0.7 development series. Most notably
     including a switch to Taglib#. Regressions in the amount of RAW
     types supported, will be fixed before releasing 0.8.
   + Switched to a new Taglib#-backed metadata layer. This is a huge change
     which should bring us increased stability (in the long run) and a much
     easier to maintain metadata layer than the one we previously had. Also
     enables some funky new features like XMP sidecars. (Ruben Vermeersch,
     Mike Gemünde) (LP: #279440, #69577, #260706)
   + Add support for XMP sidecars (Ruben Vermeersch)
   + Add "remove from camera after import"-option (Ruben Vermeersch)
   + Start of a massive backend cleanup (Mike Gemünde)
   + Upstreaming of a lot of Debian/Ubuntu patches (Iain Lane)
   + Several dialogs converted from glade to GtkBuilder (Ademir Mendoza,
     Nick Van Eeckhout, Peter Goetz, Trevor Buchanan)
   + Code refactorings and cleanups, increased Hyena adoption (Evan Briones,
     Paul Lange, Paul Wellner Bou)
   + Small usability improvements (Alex Launi, Anton Keks, Iain Churcher,
     Tomas Kovacik)
   + More build retooling (Bertrand Lorentz, Christian Krause, Gabriel Burt)
   + Many bugs fixed and improvements in stability: Over 85 bugs closed
