I have to say that with only 2-3000 photos f-spot is so slow to be unusable (I do have a slow machine though, Eeepc900) >> > 4. Stability.

A nice thing of Shotwell is the ability to show videos as well as photos. It is indeed very common to have a mixed video+pictures collection when using a digital camera. I have another f-spot weakness to mention: somehow it corrupts my tags when using multiple applications. I usually do the tagging in geeqie (due to its great feature of «marking» photos and connecting tags to marks). For some reason (probably connected with bad xml syntax handling) when I add tags within f-spot to those photos it deletes all the other tags keeping only its ones. And yes, I still see all tags in f-spot interface, they are just gone from the files :-( Since a year or so I do all the tagging via geeqie + exiftool commandline, waiting for Shotwell to include hierarchical tags (due later this month). I don't want to start a flame war here, just adding my VHO ;-) Piergi ----- -- Web: http://traversin.org/ GNU/Linux user 190604 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Please%2C-continue-evonving-f-spot-tp32250347p32252356.html Sent from the Gnome - F-Spot mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ f-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
