Using f-stop imported pictures to the photo folder. Where is the photo folder?
I can't find it anywhere. "Pictures" would have seemed to be the logical place, but I cannot find the photo folder. I realize this is ridiculously simple, but it is frustrating to me.
Distribution: Ubuntu 12.10, Ultimate Edition 3.5, OZ Unity 3.0 Black Opal

You can change the directory in which f-spot imports file to through
Edit-> Prefernces
In fedora f-spot imports files to Pictures folder by creating seperate folders and subfolders for date month and year of creation of the photo/image.
You will notice that the default storage is "~/Photos" On my installation of openSUSE 11.0 with KDE 3.5 this could be found using the KDE file searching function and truncating (*/Photos). Surely Gnome is searchable. You have tried?
When I store files, KDE shows me the file tree (/home/MYSYSTEM/THISFOLDER) that indicates its location. Sometimes I remember; otherwise I search. Here is a nice picture.

Clearly Linux is not for everybody and it is clearly not altogether for me. There are aspects of it that are simply way too much bother for me. I have used both Windows and Macs for years and never had trouble finding imported photos. After 4 years on a Mac I got a Windows pc and decided to try Ubuntu on my new computer with Vista because I had heard so much negative about Vista. Well, I went to Vista and imported my photos and they were right there, easily found. I will use Ubuntu for surfing the web, but Vista for other things. I like things simple and not have to mess about. I personally do not find Ubuntu simple.
It seems to me that you wanted to find your files, here your pictures, under the name you expected them having. F-Spot puts them in a particular folder with a name. The documentation for F-Spot tells you where and what it is called. It also tells you how to change that where and what for your convenience.
You may have been told that linux was very good, and it is, or that it was simple, and it can be, but it is different from both Windows and Macintosh in its terminology, structure and logic. It does require a process of acclimation and learning.

Since you did not thank me, or show perseverance and patience, or indeed spell the name of the application correctly, I think you are in debit. You owe a reading of the manual, that is before you complain that the fancy new OS doesn't spring into life at the press of a button.

I can double-clutch when I downshift my motorcycle. I learned how. It's fun.
If you had actually helped me, I would have thanked you, but you didn't. I would have recommended Ubuntu to friends, but not now. I'm done here. I have a greater appreciation now for both Windows and Macs which worked fine for me without reading the "manual".
