Hi Adam,

That is a real pity! A lot of digicams these days carry their movies in
a acvhd bluray disc compatible directory that is not beneath the dcim
directory ( at least the panasonic camera's) I was quite confident that
shotwell would replace digikam on my wife's and my dad's new ubuntu
install. I tested it quite a while and it seemed the ideal solution
until now . It really does need to download video's too, otherwise these
less computer literate people are not going to cope with it.

Could you consider to add a toggle for this in the settings?

Is there any other work around?
