I'm not one of the developers on the team here (yet) but I have experienced some of your concerns myself. Currently I'm looking of the code to see if I can do something about my #1 problem with F-Spot, that all files end up in a continous view. My idea is to do something similar to eg Picasa where while all images are in one view they are grouped by folder. This meakes it a bit easier to quickly scan over images (IMHO). Now I was thinking of adding a variant of that were images are grouped by day as well, that should fit well with the time line which F-Spot uses. I have no idea when I will get around to making that work however. I have no experience with C# or mono, I do have a lot of Java experience so I doubt C# will give me all that much problem. Regarding the concept of work flows and effects I have an old idea that I've been kicking around. I was going to write about it here before but I never got around to it (the topic was brought up a few months back). Basically I ripped the idea of how many lab tools model flow processing and applied it to photos. And in addition I considered ways of making a standard interface for tuning parameters as well as linking several effects together. If people are interested I'll try to put something together to demonstrate what I mean. Other than that I think versioning is the best feature in F-Spot and it confuses me that other tools haven't added this feature yet. To me (as a developer) versioning is one of the obvious things missing from many other photo tools. Trying to work on this (I think grouping/stacking could be an interesting way to expand on it) is something I think would improve F-Spot. I haven't really seen a lot of feature discussions, is this mailing list the right place for it? /Marcus Hast _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
