My 0.02$ about this topic: Making F-Spot able to adapt to: * custom directory structure * custom filenames * versionning scheme (custom merging of 2+ pictures as versions for example) would be a great plus for users. F-Spot now has some nice defaults, but those defaults might not fit some users needs. Any easy way we can get to make F-Spot more flexible is to be considered, IMO.
For example, I had to rebuild my whole photo database, from a previously F-Spot managed directory structure that contained some * RAW pictures * JPEG ones (developed from RAW) * JPEG versionned ones derived from the above (with GIMP for example) * some PNG ones. I had great trouble (and still have) managing my new database, because * there is no easy way to re-merge versions of my pictures * PNG files do not carry EXIF, which places them in the wrong yyyy/mm/dd folder, based on modification date. This is just one example of a situation in which a more flexible F-Spot would be appreciated. I must say, tho, that I still can't imagine managing my pictures without F-Spot, keep on guys! 2009/5/12, Brian J.
