Thanks for the bug report. The filter options in the menu are supposed to show the search bar automatically. Unfortunately, it seems that this is broken if the search bar has never been visible in the current Shotwell session.
I've ticketed this upstream at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3490 . We'll fix this for the upcoming 0.9.2 release. ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #3490 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3490 ** Also affects: shotwell via http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3490 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759011 Title: Filter on rating does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
