hello,
i am a new f-spot user and i'm trying to see where it will fit into my
workflow. my process goes something like this:
1) take pictures (raw)
2) copy them to the computer
3) put them in a folder organized by date and description (i.e.
2008.06.24-yellowstone_np)
4) open files in ufraw, make adjustments
5) save the image's .ufraw file (next to the raw file)
6) run a perl script that executes ufraw-batch on the photos using the .ufraw
file that was created in step 5 to create jpgs and then publishes the photos to
a custom web site
i would like to be able to open the photos from f-spot in ufraw (possible with
a right click in f-spot currently) and have ufraw save only the .ufraw config
file for the photo when i hit 'save' in the ufraw window. in ufraw this is
possible by passing the '--create-id=only' option at the command line.
also, is it possbile to run an external script from f-spot, in my case for
developing and publishing the photos, on a the selected photos? if this is
possible my workflow might look like this:
1) take pictures
2) copy them to computer
3) import them to f-spot
4) review/edit/develop them in f-spot/ufraw
5) from f-spot run my script on a group of selected photos to publish them
(pusing the date and possibly description and tags from ufraw as meta data)
it's only one less step than my current process, but would be a huge
improvement in usability for me.
for versioning of the raw files, the .ufraw files could be used - ufraw has the
ability to specify which conf file is used to open an image (--conf=...). this
would allow for a very lightweight database: a user would need a large raw file
and each version of that photo would require only a .ufraw which is <10k
(compared to .cr2 files which are 10-13m).
has something like this been done? is it possible to configure the options
used when opening ufraw from f-spot? how much mono knowledge is required to
write an extension that would allow a user to run an external script (i have
only developed in php and visual basic)?
thanks!
