I vote +1 rudimentary video support for 1.0 :) For example:
1. import videos to import dir 2. generate and display thumbnail in place of video (or use thumbnail generated by camera if present) 3. allow launch of external program (via right-click menu) Besides the obvious convenience of supporting videos, it would also fix a fairly serious potential data loss issue for some users. I have found that I sometimes connect my camera, import using f-spot, and then deleted everything from the camera to find that I have inadvertently deleted any videos I made because they weren't imported :( Dave On Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 2:56 AM, Michael Wayne Goodman <[email protected]> wrote: > G'day, > > On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 6:51 PM, Stephane Delcroix > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hey folks, >> >> You may or may not know that we plan to tag the next big release as >> 1.0.
