Bug Description
Binary package hint: shotwell
Using an Android device, Shotwell scans the entire directory for pictures. It also picks up pictures used by apps. Whereas it should only pick up pictures taken by the camera and sent by bluetooth.
Considering that there are other camera applications which can also create thier own folders outside of the 'offical' folder. I would suggest Shotwell look for pictures taken by the phone's camera (which is marked by metadata depicting it as such) as well as scanning Bluetooth folders. (Which no apps now create their own versions of) and to ignore all other folders.
As it is right now, Shotwell can pick up and remove pictures from the device which damage or make unusable applications on the phone. Requiring a reinstall of the application.
