I browsed through that and in the end there are some comments by one user, Matthew East[1]: --- 1. fspot crashed very early when I started using it. It gave a pretty good error report so that looks good for bug reporting, but it is only at version 0.1.11 so I think it is important to look at whether it is too early in its development to ship it by default. Others will be better able to look at this than I am. 2. the default view is arranging things by date - that's no good for my photos which are organised by folder, and lots of them don't have a date because they are scanned from a non-digital camera or taken with a camera without the correct date. I suspect this is common with most users. 3. the folder view is not very helpful - I have organised my photos into folder and f-spot will organise them by folder, but it insists upon displaying all my photos on the same page rather than allowing me to navigate through the folders. 4. the "export to gallery" doesn't seem to be as feature rich as the gthumb one - I use this a lot and like to be able to choose between different themes. ---- I believe the first point is pretty moot. However points 2 and 3 seem to (in a way) be the same problem. Basically how should F-Spot handle files that are not structured in the "F-Spot way"? Something like revamping the IconView would help here. But it might be a good way to (in the long run) get some help from eg the usability lab Larry has access to get comments on what user do that we don't forsee.
