There's a patch available that lets you control the size of the tag icon - this makes it a lot more useable. There's also a 'hidden' feature for adding tags to images - press 't', and then just type the tag names comma-separated, with auto-complete. It still isn't perfect, but it's a lot better. > E needs improvement and more control over the > slideshow - times? music? There are a couple of patches floating around that give you more control over the slideshow mode - including adding control over the timing and adding keyboard controls to pause, resume and move around. I haven't seen anyone working on music, though... > F is a lot better to than other Linux > solutions but the ability to search by date, event would be big. This is probably the area in f-spot that still bugs me the most. I really miss iphoto's 'virtual' folders, where you can specify a very complex search query, and the folder always shows you all photos that match the query. I'm hoping that the F_SPOT_QUERY branch will be merged into HEAD sometime soon so I can take a closer look at it... > So, the features of F-Spot are mainly there.
