Hi:
I can change the date/time from my photos without any problem.
The only use I detect is I can't change the order of photo display from
descending to ascending (and I think it's solved, but not included on
any official release).
About the speed: today I will try to create some indexs ...
About to low speed on thumbs: if you are working with large files and
configure f-spot to save metadata on photos, f-spot recreates the thumb
every time the photo changes. Try to **not** to save the metadata in the
photo (only in the database).
Hope this help.

Hi, competition is always good and I think f-spot's developers must
pay attention to peaple say about shotwell's strenghts and f-spot
weakness, so here I go:
Shotwell strenghts:
1. Speed: The thumbnails displays are lighting fast. I can jump to any
part of my photo collection ane/time d bs get displayed almost instantly
2. Multiple photo collection: From the command line I can specify
which collection I want to start.
3. Export. The facebook plugin works great, I haven't mess with the
others but this one works as expected (a must for me)
4. Stability. So far, I have not stability issues.
5. Change date
F-spot weakness:
1. Low Speed: The thumbnails are slow, if I jump to some point oh my
collection, the thumbnails seem to be regenerated. Or if I use the
window's scroll bar to navigate through thumbnails, I have to stop
navigation at some point to be able to see the thumbs at that position
(again, the thumbs looks empty and after 2 o 3 seconds they appear)
2. No Multiple photo collection. I can at least 2 uses of this:
a) The Hidden tag hasn't subtags, so if I had a lot of pics there
this I had trouble finding something. And, what is the point of a tag
named Hidden if It is visible at the tag structure? I have in there
some pics of ex girlfriends, then I show my actual girlfriend some
pics of us, but when she show the "hidden" tag, she demand to see
inside! so hidden do not actually hide lol
b) I want to share f-spot with another person and can't create
another account for him
3. Export plugins. I use a lot smugmug and facebook to share my
photos, but suddenly they both stop working (well there is now the
smugmug redux), but today the facebook plugin isn't working.
4. Stability. I had several issues here. 1 of 3 times, when I import
some pics, f-spot hangs, then I retry the import and everything goes
fine. Same for export to a
folder. Also, sometimes the thumbs do not show, so I have to double
click a empty thumbnail to see at what photo I'm positioned.
5. The date change isn't working for me. I went vacation with my
family and my sister's camara has the wrong date (something at 1950),
when I imported this photos, f-spot sorted like the year was 2050,
then I try to change the date, but with not luck
I'm using f-spot for a couple of years and was very happy with it, but
I must admit that the weakness I already mention are pissing me off
from a months ago, so I hope this weakness change to strengths soon!

And for me image versioning is a must, too! At this time, shotwell is
quite o.k. for a few hundred cellphone jpgs, but not for work with
huge
photo collections.
