Re: EOG vs Shotwell Viewer
Hi! To my testing and usage shotwell viewer is much slower than EOG, from opening a high resolution image to zooming on an image so there that's a very big reason to not switch to shotwell viewer and also I believe there are still many file formats that shotwell viewer is still not able to open. It might be worth exploring to enhance the integration between EOG and shotwell though. Thanks!

Re: EOG vs Shotwell Viewer
It might be worth exploring to enhance the integration between EOG and shotwell though I think eog supports python plugins (using libpeas?). So can we have a plugin which adds a button on the toolbar Edit with Shotwell which opens shotwell image viewer which has basic image editing features. - Manish -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: ubuntu lacks ideas, firefox is full of ideas
Well, now we can see: this discussion does not lead anywhere. What we are discussing? Unity is here to stay, and we can only think how to improve it and make it easier to use. Ever since I first sat down in a car, i use manual transmission and I have definitely gotten used to it, which does not mean that it is easier to use than the automatic. Same with Unity. Let us be constructive. P.S. I don`t use Firefox at all Dana Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:47:16 +0100, Jo-Erlend Schinstad joerlend.schins...@gmail.com napisao/napisala je: Den 19. nov. 2011 21:36, skrev Mr. Alexander Etter: My claim is false. Mr. Etter Great, so we have confirmed that at least we haven't lost features wrt keyboard use since 10.04 and that we have attained some new ones. Now we should find out which are still missing. Luckily, this is one of the primary focuses for 12.04. Since we're obviously both interested in the subject, we should get started. :) Jo-Erlend Schinstad -- Davor Buday -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Re: Default Music Player in Ubuntu 12.04
Hi Everyone - Thank you all for sending feedback[1][2][3] on the default music player for 12.04. It is clear the right decision for 12.04 is to make Rhythmbox the default music player. Thank you, above all else, for keeping the conversation cordial and making the decision about what is best for Ubuntu.

Thanks everyone, Jason On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 9:17 AM, Jason Warner jason.war...@canonical.comwrote: Hi All - During the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit we discussed moving from Banshee back to Rhythmbox as the default music player for Ubuntu 12.04. No definitive decision has been taken yet (major default apps tend to have many integration points and broader discussions are needed before we can make that decision, such as the Thunderbird decision in Oneiric) as we need to kick off the further discussion. It was an interesting discussion overall and I wanted to reach out to the broader Ubuntu community to get further feedback. So, feel free to reply with your thoughts in this thread. For context, here are some of the discussion points. Areas of concern in Banshee were stability, start-up time, the overall resource intensive nature of the application and how responsive an upstream they were to Ubuntu specific needs. It was noted that Banshee is by far the better UI, but many people experienced significant issues in stability thus making it feel less usable. Areas of concern in Rhythmbox were U1 music integration, usability and how active an upstream they were. Most people in attendance felt that Rhymbox just worked but needed quite a bit of UI/usability work to make it a great default application choice. I would like to welcome further feedback on the proposal to move back to Rhythmbox here. Thanks in advance for your input.
