Move and Import Batch - doesn't work as expected

[skomorokh]

I don't understand how my statements are inconsistent? Maybe if I give more detail:

Aftershot AMD64 .deb package version 174:1.0.1.10 running on Ubuntu 12.04

Paths set in preferences:

User folder location: /curated/aftershot/config
Default catalog location: /curated/aftershot/catalogs

When I choose File->Download. Tab says "Move and Import".

Settings:

• Destination: fixed, /curated/pictures
• Output: custom, [vname]
• Save in subfolder: [year]/[date]
• Checked options: Overwrite existing output files, Delete original files
• Import into Catalog: checked
• Import Location: /main (Prompt unchecked, no keywords or presets)

Results:

• Raw file is correctly moved to /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname]
• Raw file is not physically copied into catalog
• Catalog entries referencing imported files are created in the catalog "main" under /main/curated/pictures/[year]/[date]
• This operation will not recurse into folders, I have to select each folder I want to import from rather than have it take all images in a tree.

What happens when I try to create a batch in hopes of gaining recursion:

Actions/settings:

• go to the output tab
• right click under "Batch output"
• click "New..."
• "Add Copy Output" from the Output dropdown
• Tab says copy
• Same settings as above for destination, output name and location and catalog import
• Click JPEG tab and select "remove current output" from output dropdown
• Hit okay to create batch
• Right click new batch and "Process a folder (including subfolders" and select a folder with some images.

Results:

• Raw file is correctly moved to /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname]
• Catalog entries referencing imported files are created in the catalog "main" under /main/[date] NOT /main/[year]/[date]
• Raw file is physically copied both into /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname] AND /curated/aftershot/catalogs/main/assets/[date]
• When I delete the image from the catalog the copy under /curated/aftershot/catalogs/main/assets/[date] is deleted and the copy under /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname] is left behind.
• The batch will successfully recurse into folders. The same behaviour occurs even when selecting a folder directly containing images and no subfolders.

What I expected / want to make happen, if possible?

• Raw file is moved to /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname]
• Raw file is not physically copied into catalog
• Catalog entries referencing imported files are created in the catalog "main" under /main/[year]/[date]
• This operation will recurse into folders

• Raw file is moved to /curated/pictures/[year]/[date]/[vname]
• Raw file is not physically copied into catalog
• Catalog entries referencing imported files are created in the catalog "main" under /main/[year]/[date]
• This operation will recurse into folders

This is how it should work.

But I also see complete raw files being copied under the assets folder here (Ubuntu).

Time for the Monkey.
